Default floor joist support

I have a home built around 1930-35. it has 2x10 floor joists
spaced 16" on center. They are 12 feet from foundation wall to center
support beam running length of the house. The center beam sits atop 3 lally
columns. My question is how much weight can this type of construction
support? I am planning on getting a new dining room table and china cabinet
and I need to know if the floor will support it. Dining room measures 12' x
16'
Thanks for any info
