Discover our **classic consoles with old styles**, refined and always very elaborate.

The history of the classic console

The classic consoles referenced by La Maison Saulaie are perfectly in line with traditional French consoles. A console was once a practical piece of furniture, ready to receive anything that could no longer be placed on the table, due to lack of space: plates, dishes, jugs, etc. The **console** was a kind of shelf supported by a solid base, capable of supporting heavy loads without bending. Today, a classic console is no longer a domestic piece of furniture, which is discreetly placed between the window and the fireplace. It is a piece of furniture highly prized by interior decoration enthusiasts. A real in-between, the wooden console is no longer entirely functional, nor is it simply decorative.

La Maison Saulaie presents **classic wooden consoles**, the result of the know-how of recognised craftsmen. They are designed and manufactured entirely in France, according to traditional techniques passed down from generation to generation. In oak, mahogany or other solid wood, each console is made according to old artisanal methods with dowels, tenons and mortises.

Practical luxury, the role of your classic console

A console can also be a clever and very practical custom-made storage unit. Do you have an empty space but not enough depth to put a larger piece of furniture there? Do you want to create a small workspace with a rectangular top where you could put your computer from time to time? On the contrary, do you need a lot of storage space but don't want to weigh down the room with a sideboard or chest of drawers? The classic console is the perfect answer to your problem.

Opt for a small, elegant solid oak console with clean lines so you never have to look for your pens, card games or everyday objects again. Placed at the top of a staircase or in a hallway, your half-moon console furnishes your interior with luxury and refinement. In raw wood or with patinated finishes, your **classic console** allows you to highlight a statuette or a bouquet of flowers.

A classic console for your elegant decoration

Are you looking for a classic but very practical console to furnish a small space? What if you opted for an **extendable console**, capable of changing from a small console placed against a wall to a large family table that can accommodate up to 6 people in just a few steps? The strength of a rectangular console is that it can change rooms according to your desires and needs.

Do you want to modernise your classic interior without choosing a piece of furniture that would stand out? La Maison Saulaie offers Scandinavian-style consoles, capable of accompanying your wooden dining room or your top-of-the-range leather sofas without any problem. Style is also a story of arrangement and layout of decorative pieces that respond to and complement each other. Do not hesitate to contact us for any questions, whether they concern the quality of our furniture or the right choice of your classic console.
