A pair of Italian demi-lune console tables in warm fruitwood, raised on gently splayed tapered legs, with the form's great double life: each half-moon stands independently against a wall, and the two join to form a complete round table. That versatility made demi-lunes the most practical furnishings of their day, flanking a doorway or fireplace one week and seating an intimate supper the next. The fruitwood has mellowed to a glowing, honeyed tone with the depth of genuine age across the broad tops. True pairs are much scarcer than singles and correspondingly prized by designers. Both are sound and stand properly together, with wear consistent with age and use.
