Oval table with falling leaves

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The table is oval with a dark wood finish. The oval top has a slight sheen and appears to be made of two rounded panels. The tabletop is dark brown and shows wear on the surface. The table has six legs, each with a distinctive spindle shape. The legs are connected by curved and straight stretchers that form an X shape. The legs have small, rounded feet. The background is white with a subtle shadow cast by the table. The overall appearance of the table suggests it may be an antique or vintage piece. The artist of this piece is Gillows. The title of this piece is "Oval table with falling leaves".
