Without a doubt, tables have been the most important pieces of furniture in the home since ancient times. They evolve with the ever changing lifestyles and fashions of the people that use them.
The first tables, designed to place against a wall, date from the 15th century and were used as serving tables and dressers. The purely decorative side table came only into fashion in the 17th century. Decorations in the shape of paintings, several kinds of intarsia - such as flower and leave intarsia, geometric intarsia - or marquetry with the use of exotic and luxurious wood sorts, gilded stucco, woodcarvings and bronze or copper fittings, could and can be a treat for the eye.
The possibilities:
A beautiful lamp looks fabulous on a corner table. A pot plant or a bouquet of flowers emphasises the loveliness of an interesting side table. Crockery looks better on a striking tea table. Place a mirror above a frivolous hall table. Three tables, varying in size, next to the couch as practical decoration. Embellish a forgotten corner. A beautiful coffee table is the centre-piece during communication. Think up more ideas yourself and have a look at the specimens at the Antique Style webstore.
