Elegant and unusually slender, the tables rise from richly figured rosewood plinths on gilt-brass columns enriched with foliate capitals and bases. The mirrored backs reflect the figured rosewood platforms below, adding depth to the open forms and visually extending the space around them. The later tops are thoughtfully composed of white Carrara panels framed in Siena marble. Their narrow proportions make the pair particularly useful as pier, side, or bedside tables.

I’ve always liked consoles with mirrors. They  create space where there really isn’t any, making a room feel larger and even a rug seem more expansive.
