Width: 98 cm Depth: 53 cm Height: 75 cm A brief history of the dining table Long absent from interiors, the dining table only became a fixed piece of furniture in the 18th century with the advent of the dedicated dining room. Before that, people would "set the table" on simple trestles that were stored away after the meal to clear the space. Whether round, oval, or rectangular, it is defined by its generous top supported by a central pedestal or four corners. Also called a "dining table" or "reception table," it is the beating heart of the home, designed to anchor moments of sharing with durability and style.
