Once a mainstay in almost every home, console tables were positioned at a central point, a spot for assembling every-day items until you next left the house. Often found in the hallway, landing or entrance hall, it’s where keys were left and where the telephone resided. These days, with our rooms becoming more open-plan and multi-functional, the role of the console table has transitioned to an occasional piece for any room, ideal for a lamp, plants, books and display. This is a particularly handsome and neatly proportioned Edwardian console featuring two drawers, sitting on long elegant legs with its original brass rings handles in place.
