Library table 1730 - 1740

This mahogany library table, crafted by William Kent between 1730 and 1740, is a striking example of the Rococo style. The table features elaborate carvings, including lion masks, acanthus leaves, and a decorative border. Its black marble top and brass handles add a touch of elegance. The table was designed for a grand library, a space for both scholarly pursuits and social gatherings. It is now on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
