Table

Léon Marcotte

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Table by Léon Marcotte is a black, oval-shaped table with a flat top and decorative edge. The tabletop has a smooth surface with a beaded border around the edge. The table's apron features a curved design with a central floral motif and scrollwork on either side. It has four curved legs with ornate carvings near the top, tapering down to small wheels at the bottom. The table's surface and legs appear to be made of a dark wood or have a dark finish. The background is a plain wall and floor, with the table casting a shadow.
