Chamber Table

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The "Chamber Table" by artist unknown, is a dark brown wooden piece of furniture with a rectangular shape. The table has a flat top with slightly raised edges. There are three drawers across the top, each with a circular knob. The top two drawers are smaller and side-by-side; the bottom drawer is longer and spans the entire width of the table. The table's front features ornate carvings on the drawers and around the legs. The legs are turned and tapered with small round feet. A stretcher bar connects the legs underneath the table. The table has a lower shelf that is rectangular with a slightly raised edge, supported by the same tapered legs. The background of the image is white with a slight shadow cast by the table.
