Child's Desk

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Child's Desk features a slanted, dark-colored wood top with a starburst design and a small decorative metal piece at its center. The top has a slight lip around the edges. There are three drawers below the top, each adorned with a metal pull. The desk has a base with a molding detail and four curved legs that end in a decorative, claw-like shape. The background of the image is plain white. The overall design suggests an antique or traditional style. The artist and title of the piece are associated with a child's desk.
