Thank you in advance.

Eastlake, last quarter 19th century.

Thank you very much for your wisdom. How do i find some additional knowledge about eastlake? Is eastlake a high end /quality maker?

HI,
Charles Eastlake was a british architect, he did not make furniture, he published a book in the 1870s and furniture makers at the time adopted some of his ideas. There is a report on this site or the RV site that offers a good explanation of this style.

Found It, it's on the main Rare Victorian site

Eastlake's book - "Hints on Household Taste" was published in 1868 in England, then reprinted a number of times in the U.S. In retrospect, I see it in large part as a reaction against the rococo revival, which Eastlake abhorred. Reportedly, young married couples just starting out were often seen with a copy of the book tucked under their arm(s). :)

Eastlake is widely seen as the successor to Renaissance Revival, sometimes with a stop off at the aesthetic camp.

Anyway, I'd say your table is 1880s, and probably midwestern (Ohio, Michigan). But of course you know there were hundreds of manufacturers, and in the absence of a tag or ink stamp it's all just guesswork.  But I'll stand by my guess.

Thank you so much for the little bit of history.

Can Eastlake be high end? Absolutely, Herter Bros. comes immediately to mind. Eastlake was the end of the victorian era in furniture styles, golden oak came in next quickly followed by craftsman style furniture championed by makers like Stickley.

"Can Eastlake be high end? Absolutely"

You know it, especially the 1880s stuff. I saw an 8'+ Eastlake dresser a few weeks ago that would take anyone's breath away.
