Dressing table

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The wooden dresser table by an unknown artist shows a small, rectangular table with a dark brown wood finish. The table has a flat top and one drawer. Two small, ornate metal handles are on the front of the drawer. The table has four legs; each leg is ornately carved with multiple rounded sections. A curved, X-shaped support connects the legs underneath the table. The background of the image is white with a slight shadow cast by the table.
