I found this table in an antique store and my parents have an end table similar. I'm not sure if it is really Art Deco or a reproduction. Are there any tips anyone can give to help me? It is a coffee table with a blue mirror top. The mirror has lines etched in it about an inch from the sides forming a design. The wood has been painted so I cannot identify the wood. It does need work, but I am willing to restore if it is authentic. Thank you for your help!

I'm no authority so I can't tell you if it is authentic, but it is certainly Art Deco "style". Why would anyone paint a table that garish color? I would restore it to it's natural color.
