Corner Shelves

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Gray corner shelves with a scalloped edge, titled "Corner Shelves". The shelves are made of a material that appears to be wood or plaster, with a distressed finish. There are five shelves total. The bottom shelf is largest, and each subsequent shelf decreases in size, forming a tiered effect. The shelves are stacked on top of each other, forming a tall, narrow structure that fits into a corner. The background is white. The image is in black and white.
