Tea Table

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a black wooden table by artist unknown titled "Tea Table". The table has a round top. The top is dark-colored and flat. The table has a short, thick stem with a bulbous middle section; it tapers at the top and bottom. The stem is attached to the top by a short, square block. The table has three legs. The legs are curved and tapered with a decorative carving on the front two legs near the top; they end in a foot with a slight curve upwards. The background is light-colored and appears to be a wall or floor. There is a shadow cast by the table on the surface below it.
