The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The table, titled "Pier Table" by Duncan Phyfe, features a white marble top with gray veins, rectangular in shape and slightly rounded edges. The table's base is made of dark wood with a reddish tint, exhibiting a glossy finish. It has four legs, each curved outward and adorned with a scroll-like design at the top and bottom. Two of the legs are connected by an arched stretcher at the bottom. The table's frame features a lower shelf, and its sides display a decorative curved profile. The background of the image transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
