Cupboard

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a wooden cupboard by artist Carl Malmsten. The cupboard has a rectangular top and bottom. The top section has a carved geometric design in the center and two doors on either side. The doors and center design are framed with rectangular molding. There are decorative spiral columns on the left and right sides. The bottom section has a long shelf and three drawers across the front. The legs are spiral carved and end in small feet. The entire piece appears to be made of dark wood with a reddish-brown color and has a classic, traditional design. The background is plain white.
