Hi Steve, very fair, quite often these tables loose their legs and are just sold as trays.   I have seen these tables making anything between £30.00 - £65.00 at Antiques Fairs, so well done.  A tip for cleaning very dirty brass is use quarter of a pint of vinegar 4 ozs salt and a couple of pints of water rub the solution onto the brass and it cleans like magic, you can reduce the amounts for smaller items, (this works for most metals but must not be used for silver plate) always clean it off again with hot water and then dry and polish.
Jacqui.

Ohh and Jacqui, how old do you rekon this particular table is? I know that its difficult to tell from a pic so are there any markings I should look out for?

Sorry Steve, it's impossible to judge the age or give a valuation just by a photograph.  These items had no specific markings and have been made over a long period of time.   If you have a local antique dealer call in and ask them.  - 10 out of 10 for trying though.
