This nomadic piece of furniture revolutionized social life at court by allowing the rigidity of large sideboards to be broken and creating conversation islands anywhere in the room. Its lightweight and compact structure was designed to be moved as needed: to place a candlestick, a cup of tea, or a bedside book.
