Tea Table

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black-and-white photo of a table titled "Tea Table". The table has a round top with a scalloped edge. The top is dark-colored wood with a wood grain pattern. A thin metal edge trims the scalloped edge. The table has a short, thin stem with a decorative medallion on the front. The stem supports three curved legs with decorative carvings on the upper portion near the stem; the legs curve outward and end in a claw-like shape with a flat, round foot. The background is white.
