Work Table

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photo of a "Work Table" by an unknown artist. The table has a rectangular top with rounded corners and four legs. The legs are slender and tapered, with decorative molding at the top, middle and bottom. The front two legs are fluted. A drawer spans the front top section with a curved handle-less front. Four round knobs serve as pulls. A rounded square basket-like compartment is below the drawer, made of horizontal slats. The table sits on a light-colored floor against a light-colored background.
