Drop-leaf Pembroke Table

Duncan Phyfe

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Drop-leaf Pembroke table with a rectangular top featuring rounded drop leaves on both ends; the tabletop exhibits a wood grain pattern. A drawer is positioned on one long side, adorned with a brass ring pull. The table rests on a pedestal base composed of turned and carved legs, with the central leg featuring ornate carvings separated by three turned and carved spindles. The base splits into three curved legs, each terminating in a brass claw-and-ball foot. The table showcases a dark wood finish, likely mahogany, and metal hardware. Duncan Phyfe.
