| The style of tables in Georgian 18th century England changed in keeping with social requirements. It was not until fairly late in the century that a room set aside only as a dining room became the standard. As a result earlier tables were designed with folding sides so after the meal they could be set aside to make way for cards, music and/or relaxing. Then a form of d-end table with leaves came in, followed by pedestal tables and into the 19th century with a mixture of styles. |
