Oval table

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The table, titled "Oval table" and created by an unknown artist, features an oval-shaped wooden top with a brown finish and darker brown and black spots. The top has a smooth edge. The table's base consists of four legs, each with a turned design and a flared foot. The legs are connected by two stretcher bars, one near the bottom and one higher up, forming a square shape. The legs and stretchers have a black finish. A decorative scalloped apron connects the top of the legs to the table top. The table is set against a white background with a shadow cast to the left.
