Oval table with falling leaves

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The table "Oval table with falling leaves" by an unknown artist features a dark brown, oval-shaped wooden top with a smooth edge, constructed from two planks. The tabletop is supported by four legs, each with a distinctive spindle-shaped turn, connected by stretchers and aprons. The legs are attached to curved feet with two toes. The table's frame and legs exhibit a rich, dark brown color with visible signs of wear and aging. The background is plain white with a subtle shadow cast by the table.
