This pair of nineteenth-century console tables exhibits a Regency design in warm brown mahogany. Each half-round top has a carved edge above a deep curved frieze with flame mahogany veneers. Every table rests on three turned and carved tapering legs with a single central rear leg, and all legs finish in brass castors. Each piece measures 79 cm in height, 125 cm in width, and 51 cm in depth. The flat backs sit neatly against a wall, making the pair well suited to a narrow wall space on either side of a fireplace or a doorway in a modern home.

FAQs

Demi-lune tables, named after their half-moon shape, gained prominent popularity in late 18th and 19th-century European furniture design. Originally created to sit flush against walls in reception rooms and entryways, they were often crafted in pairs to flank doorways or align with architectural features.

Tables from this period were typically constructed using solid mahogany or oak frameworks faced with highly figure-grained veneers such as flame mahogany or satinwood. Accent elements frequently included carved timber details, brass castors, and turned leg supports.

Authentic period pieces display evidence of hand-carved joinery, natural timber shrinkage over time, and original iron or brass hardware. The underside of the frame often shows hand-sawn timber marks and secondary woods like pine or oak used for structural bracing.

These tables are positioned along hallways, entryways, or narrow wall spaces to provide balance without encroaching on foot traffic. A pair can be placed on either side of a doorway or fireplace to create architectural symmetry within a modern room scheme.

Dust surfaces regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, rubbing along the direction of the wood grain. Protect the finish from direct sunlight and moisture, and apply a thin layer of natural beeswax paste annually to nourish the timber.
