Historical Context
Historical Context
The term credence table comes from ecclesiastical furniture: in churches it was the small side table that held the bread, wine and communion vessels. From the late 19th century onward, this form was adapted for domestic use as a compact side or hall table, often in oak and in a vaguely “Jacobean” style, as here.
