Trestle Table

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Trestle Table by artist. Rectangular table top with rounded corners and slightly raised edges. The table top has a small lip around the edges. One long drawer with a metal pull is set into the front edge. Four legs are shaped like truncated triangles, wider at the bottom than the top. The legs are connected by two horizontal stretcher bars, one near the floor, and one higher up. The table is made of wood and has a weathered appearance. The table is positioned at an angle, with one corner closer to the viewer. The background is plain white.
