What distinguishes a console table from a side table?

Console tables historically sat against a wall, sometimes anchored to the structure, whereas side tables stood independently on four or more legs. In modern usage, both terms describe narrow rectangular or curved tables suited for hallways and corridors.

How do I identify a Regency period table?

Regency tables date from the early nineteenth century and typically exhibit classical restraint, bold mahogany grains, and occasional giltwood or brass mounts. They often incorporate architectural motifs drawn from ancient Greek and Roman design.

Are marble tops original to these tables?

Many nineteenth-century French and Italian console and centre tables were constructed specifically to carry heavy marble slabs, including white, veined, and breccia varieties. These stone surfaces provided durable protection against moisture and daily use in entrance foyers.

Where should I place a demi-lune table?

The flat back edge allows demi-lune tables to sit flush against an entrance wall without obstructing traffic flow. They occupy minimal depth while offering a surface for lamps, correspondence, and decorative objects.
