Desk and bookcase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The "Desk and bookcase" by an unknown artist depicts a large, ornate wooden piece of furniture. The furniture has a reddish-brown wood color. The bottom half has a sloped writing surface and multiple drawers with brass handles. The top half features three doors, also adorned with brass handles. The piece is supported by short legs and has decorative carvings throughout, including on the doors, drawers, and along the top. The background of the image is a gradient gray color.
