duncan phyfe table age?

I have a duncan phyfe table (style of duncan phyfe I'm assuming), and I'm just wondering how old it might be. It is a dropleaf table, but stretches out to nearly 10 feet long. It is mahogany with a solid mahogany wood veneer on the top, solid mahogany in the center and another solid mahogany wood veneer on the bottom. The mahogany props for the dropleaves fold out on wooden hinges and wedge under the leaves on mahogany wood wedges. It has three pedestal legs, which branch out into two legs, ending in brass claw feet. Detail on the legs themselves include fine lines carved along the edges in rows of three. There is no label or marking or stamping of any kind on the table anywhere. Most of the construction is held together by fitted wood pegs and there are a few wood screws. The table extends using very old looking gears. Any idea as to how old this might be?
