Sideboard Table

Duncan Phyfe

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Dark-colored wood sideboard table with a white marble top. The table has a central section with a long drawer and two shorter drawers on either side. The side sections have cabinet doors below the drawers. The table legs are ornate and feature a floral design. The legs are connected to the floor via small wheels and have silver-colored metal bands around the top and bottom. The table has four columns, two on each side of the central section, with ornate capitals and bases. The columns are made of silver-colored metal. The table top is rectangular and appears to be made of white marble with gray veining. The overall design is characterized by neoclassical elements, such as the columns and ornate metalwork, which are typical of Duncan Phyfe's style. The table is attributed to Duncan Phyfe.
