What is a demilune?

Demilune refers to crescent-shaped tables and is a French term that means half-moon. It is an excellent choice for narrow hallways and entryways because it has no front corners and a shallow profile. A demilune table's semi-circular form reduces bumps and bruising in high-traffic areas. A demilune's shape, which is a half-circle or a stylized half circle, is its defining trait. When stylized, the simple form of a circle is retained, edges designed with foliage, scrolls, and other intricacies. A demilune table may feature storage space underneath, such as shelves depending on the design. Find a collection of antique and vintage demilunes on 1stDibs today.
