Where should I place a console table?

A console table sits against an entrance wall or beneath a mirror to establish a focal point as you enter the room. The shallow depth of these tables ensures they occupy minimal floor space while offering a surface for decorative objects.

How do I care for a giltwood surface?

Dust the giltwood gently with a dry, soft cloth to prevent the accumulation of dirt within the carved recesses. Avoid liquid cleaners and moisture, as water can lift the delicate gold leaf and gesso ground from the timber beneath.

What is the difference between a console and a centre table?

A console table stands against a wall with finished decoration primarily on the front and sides. Centre tables are finished on all sides to stand freely in the middle of a room. Both forms utilise carved giltwood and marble tops across the historical periods represented in these listings.

How do I identify a Neoclassical style table?
