Narrow Consoles For Sale on 1stDibs

At 1stDibs, there are several options of narrow consoles available for sale. Each of these unique narrow consoles was constructed with extraordinary care, often using wood, hardwood and metal. We have 84 antique and vintage narrow consoles in-stock, while there are 14 modern editions to choose from as well. Narrow consoles have long been popular, with older editions for sale from the 18th Century and newer versions made as recently as the 21st Century. Narrow consoles made by Mid-Century Modern designers — as well as those associated with Modern — are very popular at 1stDibs. Large narrow consoles can prove too imposing for some spaces, so the smaller narrow consoles available at 1stDibs — each spanning 17.5 inches in width — may make for a better choice. Many narrow consoles are appealing in their simplicity, but Alabama Sawyer, Lawson-Fenning and Walter Lamb produced popular narrow consoles that are worth a look.

How Much are Narrow Consoles?

Prices for narrow consoles can differ depending upon size, time period and other attributes — at 1stDibs, narrow consoles begin at $700 and can go as high as $45,000, while the average can fetch as much as $3,500.

Finding the Right Console Tables for You

Few pieces of furniture are celebrated for their functionality as much as their decorative attributes in the way that console tables are. While these furnishings are not as common in today’s interiors as their coffee-table and side-table counterparts, console tables are stylish home accents and have become more prevalent over the years.

The popularity of wood console tables took shape during the 17th and 18th centuries in French and Italian culture, and were exclusively featured in the palatial homes of the upper class. The era’s outwardly sculptural examples of these small structures were paired with mirrors or matching stools and had tabletops of marble. They were most often half-moon-shaped and stood on two scrolled giltwood legs, and because they weren’t wholly supported on their two legs rather than the traditional four, their flat-backed supports were intended to hug the wall behind them and were commonly joined by an ornate stretcher. The legs were affixed or bolted to the wall with architectural brackets called console brackets — hence, the name we know them by today — which gave the impression that they were freestanding furnishings. While console tables introduced a dose of drama in the foyer of any given aristocrat — an embodiment of Rococo-style furniture — the table actually occupied minimal floor space (an attractive feature in home furniture). As demand grew and console tables made their way to other countries, they gained recognition as versatile additions to any home.

Contemporary console tables comprise many different materials and are characterized today by varying shapes and design styles. It is typical to find them made of marble, walnut or oak and metal. While modern console tables commonly feature four legs, you can still find the two-legged variety, which is ideal for nestling behind the sofa. A narrow console table is a practical option if you need to save space — having outgrown their origins as purely ornamental, today’s console tables are home to treasured decorative objects, help fill empty foyers and, outfitted with drawers or a shelf, can provide a modest amount of storage as needed.

The rich collection of antique, new and vintage console tables on 1stDibs includes everything from 19th-century gems designed in the Empire style to unique rattan pieces and more.
