Mid Century Modern Tables & Consoles - A Brief History

Wood consoles rose to popularity in the 17th and 18th centuries within the French and Italian cultures, mainly in the homes of the aristocracies. These small structures were often accompanied by mirrors or matching stools with marble tabletops. They were usually half-moon-shaped and were usually supported by two scrolling legs made of giltwood. An ornate stretcher was often used as a connection between their flat-backed supports and the wall behind them. The legs of the furniture were fixed to the wall with console brackets, giving the furniture its name as well as an impression of being freestanding furnishings.

While console tables added a touch of aristocracy in the lobby as an epitome of Rococo-style furniture, the use of minimal floor space created a stunning and cohesive look in home furnishings.  As console tables began to reach other countries over time, they gained popularity as versatile additions to any space. Despite the common presence of four-legged Console Tables today, there are still two-legged Mid Century Modern Tables and Consoles for sale available in Bidsquare online auctions, making decorating take on the fluidity of a visual language.
