Drop-leaf Table

Herter Brothers

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a drop-leaf table. The table top is oval-shaped and appears to be made of dark wood; it has a light-colored border around its edge. The table top is divided into two equal halves that can be folded down. The table legs are turned and tapered with ornate details, including rounded and indented sections. The table frame has a central stretcher with curved legs that end in scroll-like carvings and small casters. The background is a plain gray color. The table appears to be made by Herter Brothers.
