Console table

Japanese: コンソール・テーブル(英語表記)console table
Console table
A decorative table attached to the wall of a large hall in an 18th-century upper-class hotel or country house. The base was made of marble, and a portrait sculpture, a desk clock, or a vase was placed on it, serving as an accent for the wall decoration. In the Rococo period, in particular, console tables were placed under large wall mirrors to enhance the effect of interior decoration. Console tables generally have no rear legs and only two front legs supporting the base, but sometimes four legs connected together with a crossbeam are also seen.

18世紀の上流階級のオテルやカントリー・ハウスで,大広間の壁面に取り付けられた装飾用のテーブル。甲板に大理石が用いられ,その上に肖像彫刻,置時計または花瓶などがのせられて,壁面装飾のアクセントの役割を果たした。とくにロココ時代には大型の壁鏡の下に備えられて室内装飾の効果を高めた。コンソール・テーブルは,一般的には後脚がなく前脚2本で甲板を支えるのが普通の形式であるが,ときには貫(ぬき)で互いに連結した四脚式の形式もみられる。
