A Console Table is a narrow table designed to stand against a wall, traditionally positioned beneath a mirror or between windows within entrance halls, drawing rooms or galleries. Originating during the Baroque period and widely adopted throughout the Georgian, Regency and Victorian eras, console tables are often richly carved and may feature marble tops, giltwood frames or decorative supports. Their elegant proportions make them both practical and highly decorative. *Related Terms*\ Giltwood, Hall Table, Marble Top, Pier Table, Side Table, Wall Mirror.
