Oddly enough - the table is real wood - not even fibre board/chip board.
Lighting was provided by an electric lamp on top of the base you see (which looks a bit like an oil lamp).
The pocket watch was a modern Chinese thing I picked up in WalMart for $6 for occasions when I'm at a fancy do and can't wear a wristwatch.
The wooden coasters might have been a big give-away as coasters are a relatively modern idea. Having said that we do have some cork table mats that belonged to my great grandmother that are falling apart.
The scratches are a good tip BUT my wife has some darned near perfect photos of her relatives from 150+ years ago.
