George III Demilune Console

Half a table, which is exactly enough.

This George III demilune console is made of waxed pine. The demilune, or half moon, table was a favorite of English Georgian design, generally made to stand against a wall in a hall or between windows. Here the semicircular top sits over a plain curved apron, raised on four square tapered legs with small blocked collars. The pine has a pale honey tone with visible knots and grain. It is 62 inches long and 34.5 high.

Plain, pale and perfectly proportioned, which is what Georgian furniture does best.
