Night Table 1877 - 1880

The Herter Brothers' "Night Table" (1877–80) is a fine example of American furniture design from the late 19th century. This small, intricately carved table features a marble top, a single drawer, and a door that conceals a lower shelf. The surface of the table is decorated with intricate floral motifs in mother-of-pearl, a characteristic of the Herter Brothers' work. This stunning example of craftsmanship is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
