Finding the Right Demi-lune-tables for You
Antique and vintage demi-lune tables are perfect for small spaces in your home. They’re compact and versatile and have been made in all manner of styles over the years.
Demi-lune tables, which are sometimes referred to as half-moon console tables, appropriately get their name from the French term for “half-moon,” which perfectly describes the crescent shape of these elegant structures. They were especially popular in France during the 1700s, and editions designed in the Louis XVI style — a style that emerged circa 1750 — are striking in their ornate appearance, with floral accents and legs that often reflect references to columns, like fluted or ribbon-twist carvings.
Demi-lune tables are ideal for use in small spaces because they occupy little real estate. They don’t have any front corners and were designed to be positioned up against a wall or tucked behind a sofa. Many versions are supported by slender or tapered legs, ensuring that the piece has a streamlined profile.
A demi-lune table in an entryway or foyer will provide a convenient surface to stack mail or keep necessities such as your house keys while affording guests plenty of room to navigate around it. A demi-lune table is also a great place for home accents and will ensure that a decorative bowl or antique ceramic vase gets the attention it deserves as you welcome friends and family into your space.
Whether you have plenty of room to introduce a sculptural but understated new piece in the living room or are working with a small space where it’s necessary to be efficient in how you arrange your furniture, demi-lune tables are a sophisticated option.
