The Card Table by Michael Allison is a black-and-white photograph of a card table. The table has a round top with a lip around the edge. The top lip has a decorative pattern on it. There are small metal pieces hanging down from the lip on either side. The table's base has a thick center column that tapers down and has a carved diamond pattern. The column connects to three curved legs that end in feet with small wheels. The legs are carved with a rope-like design. The legs curve outward and are attached to the center column by curved sections. The feet of the legs have a claw-like shape but no visible toes. The background of the image is light gray. There is a black border around the image with handwritten numbers and letters on it.
