Slab Table

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photo of "Slab Table" by an unknown artist. Rectangular table with a white top and a black base. The tabletop appears to be made of marble or stone, with a smooth surface and a slight lip around the edges. The base is made of wood, painted black, with a drawer in the front. The drawer has a carved sunburst design in the center. The table has four legs, each curved outward and then inward, forming a tapered shape. The legs are also black and appear to be made of wood. The table is positioned on a light-colored floor against a white wall. A small white label is on the floor to the right of the table.
