Serving Table

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black serving table titled "Serving Table" by an unknown artist. The table is rectangular with a flat top featuring a decorative edge. The top has a beveled edge with multiple layers of molding around its perimeter. Four legs, two at the front and two at the back, are connected by a stretcher that runs between them near the floor. The legs are fluted, featuring vertical grooves, and have a decorative curved shape, tapering as they meet the floor. Each leg has a small foot with a caster or small wheel at the bottom. The stretcher connecting the legs is also decorated with a curved design. The entire piece appears to be made of dark wood or a dark-finished material. The background of the image is a plain light color.
