From what I can see it looks like a Duncan Phyfe Drum Table in style. It looks like the real wood, probably mahogany but I would have to see it inside.
Look and see if you can find any dovetailing on it. That means the edges are put together kind of in a jig jag. Not nailed or screwed. That will aid in dating it as well and show a finer type piece of furniture.
It might have a couple of screws to keep the top on the legs or something.
The lovely old claw feet will date it admirably for you. You will have to Google.
It does not look like a reproduction to me because of the aged color.
The fluted edge is a give away addition to check out as well.
I would not paint it. Just get a good cleaner. The have better cleaners now to clean wood off than in the earlier days. Enquire at the store.
Do not paint it until you see what you have under that old look. You will be very surprised at how lovely it will be. Do not stain it either until you know what you have. It looks like a good one to me.

You table looks a bit coarser in style and this could denote it being older.
Many antiques are reproduced and made to look a little more up to date in small details.
The Lion's Head Pull on the drawer is a lovely feature as well. As you can see in the picture of the more modern one, the pull is not nearly that nice.
Try lemon juice on that to see if it works to get it clean. Or they have commercial products as well.
There is no point trying to give you a guesstimate as to value because of not being completely sure about dating it.
