Work Table

Bernard Peridiez

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Work Table by Bernard Peridiez is an ornate, antique-style piece of furniture. The table has a kidney-shaped top and a lower shelf, both with intricate inlays of various wood types in shades of brown and tan, forming floral patterns. The edges of the top and the front panels of the table are adorned with gold-colored metal accents. The table has four curved legs that taper towards the bottom, each ending in a gold-colored metal claw or foot. The background of the image is a gradient gray, transitioning from light at the bottom to dark at the top. The table appears to be positioned on a light gray floor. The overall design and details suggest a luxurious and classic aesthetic.
