Chest of Drawers

John Goddard

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a dark wood chest of drawers with a marble top. The chest of drawers has three drawers, each with a gold handle in a floral design. The top is made of white marble with gray streaks and has a wavy edge. The chest of drawers has a curved front and stands on four legs with a claw-like design at the bottom. The legs are curved outward and have a glossy finish. The background is white. The chest of drawers appears to be antique. The overall style is traditional or classic. The image is likely a product photo for an auction house or antique dealer, as indicated by "Chest of Drawers by John Goddard".
