Notes
A console table is a narrow, usually rectangular or half-moon-shaped table with a flat back, designed to stand against a wall rather than in the centre of a room.
This English Neo-classical example, with its symmetry, restraint, straight fluted legs and urn carving, was influenced by architects such as Robert Adams.
This server has a purpose-made glass cover.

Private Collection.
