Recent purchase. Thoughts on age, style and country of origin? Is it original or revival?

Unsure about the style, date, and overall quality of this piece. I’d appreciate any thoughts on its origin, construction, and approximate age.

I’m wondering whether it looks like an or a early or late reproduction, and what country it might be from.

The wear along the top front edge and the lower moulding looks genuine to me, which makes me think it may have seen a long working life, but I’d love to hear other opinions.

I recently acquired this extending pedestal dining table with eight matching chairs and would appreciate your thoughts on it. I'm particularly interested in your opinions on the style (Biedermeier, Karl Johan, or Late Empire?), the approximate age, the quality of the craftsmanship, and whether it appears to be Swedish, Norwegian, or Danish. I've included photos of the overall suite as well as the construction and undersides.

Picked up this oval tripod table in Norway and trying to figure out whether the hypothesis makes sense.

The thought is that it may be a Norwegian or Scandinavian table from the early 1800s in birch or another local hardwood stained dark to imitate British Georgian mahogany furniture from roughly 1770–1800.

The silhouette feels quite British with the tripod base and saber legs, while the construction underneath feels more provincial and locally made. The underside has hand-built characteristics with old battens, irregular shaping and a less refined construction than high-end English cabinetmaking.

Curious whether the form and construction actually fit an early 19th century Scandinavian interpretation of British furniture or whether this is more likely a later piece.

Would appreciate any input on dating, wood species or origin.

Trying to date and stylistically place this flame birch chest of drawers from an old farm in Norway. It has four graduating drawers, original escutcheons, hand-cut dovetails, pine secondary wood, turned half-columns, and a separate loose plinth/base with a bracket-foot character that feels somewhat British to me.

The veneer is highly figured flame birch with symmetrical bookmatching. Overall it feels somewhere between late Empire and early Biedermeier in a Scandinavian context.

Dimensions are 100 × 87 × 48 cm.

Would appreciate thoughts on dating, stylistic placement, and whether the base appears original.

The table is oval, extendable, with a central pedestal and four lion paw feet.

My hypothesis is that it might be an early expanding dining table from around 1835–1855, likely Northern European (Denmark or North Germany) or possibly English, in an Empire or late Regency to early Victorian style.

The top could be crotch mahogany with a bookmatched veneer, but I’m unsure if it might instead be something like flame birch?
