Scope note
Tables that are usually rectangular, but may be round or oval; finished on all sides, and intended for use in the center of a parlor or other room. They are not necessarily of a design and height to accommodate seating in chairs. They are often made en suite with various forms of parlor furniture. For smaller, oval-shaped ornamental tables meant to be used as an accent piece and accommodating chairs for one or two people, especially in 19th-century parlors, use "parlor tables."
