Consoles
Consoles and console tables are furniture that historically evolved from domestic altars. They are attached to a wall or stand in front of it.
In the XVIII century, consoles became indispensable furniture in sumptuous interiors.
In Italy, the most beautiful gold-framed consoles were made in Rome and Genoa. In France in Paris and in Germany in Dresden.
While in the Baroque and especially in the Rococo, the consoles were richly carved and gold-framed, veneered models were preferred in Classicism and Empire.
Under Louis XVI, the so-called consoles-dessertes were also used as typical dining room furniture. Consoles were mainly intended as ornamental furniture. One could place various decorative objects on them, such as clocks, candelabras, vases or sculptures. They were often placed under mirrors, either in the salon or in the entrance hall.
