Design for a Table 1750 - 1800

This is a design for a table by Robert Adam, a prominent architect and designer of the 18th century. The drawing, executed between 1750 and 1800, showcases Adam's signature neoclassical style, characterized by elegant proportions and intricate ornamentation. The table features a rectangular top supported by slender, fluted legs connected by a decorative apron. The design for a curved ceiling element suggests Adam's interest in creating harmonious and unified interiors. This drawing, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, offers a glimpse into Adam's innovative approach to furniture design during the Neoclassical era.
