Card Table

John Goddard

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Card Table by John Goddard is a rectangular table with a dark brown wood finish. The tabletop has a subtle sheen and appears to be made of a rich, reddish-brown wood. A foldable design allows the tabletop to be expanded or contracted. Four legs support the table, each featuring a curved, tapered shape with ornate carvings near the top. The legs are also made of dark brown wood and have a smooth, glossy finish, ending in small, rounded feet. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
