Gilded console tables were a part of the standard furnishings in the splendid formal rooms of Italian city palaces (palazzi). They were often placed below a mirror with a frame that was also gilded. By the mid-18th century, all of the Italian centres of production were embracing the French Rococo style, each city developing its own variation of it.
