Drop-leaf Pembroke Table

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Drop-leaf Pembroke Table by Gillows. The table has a rectangular top with a foldable half-moon shaped leaf on one long side. The tabletop has a smooth surface with a darker border around its edges. The tabletop surface displays signs of wear, with scratches, and marks. The tabletop is made of wood with a medium brown color. The table has four tapered legs that are evenly spaced and straight. The legs are made of wood and have a darker finish than the tabletop. The legs have inlays on the front and sides, which are a lighter-colored wood. The inlays are a geometric pattern. The table is sitting on a light-colored floor, and the background is a light-colored wall. The image is framed with a black border. The table appears to be antique.
