Studies of French rococo name nature as one of four main sources of its ornament. Blossoms and garlands decorated furniture, plasterwork, and silver in the 1700s. This floral pedestal table base follows that habit in a quieter, more rustic way. It would suit a French country dining room well. It is a modern design, not a copy of a museum piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUsing the Flower Table Base\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrder glass locally, since the glass in the photo is not included. One flower table base supports a 42 in round or square top. Two bases support a rectangular top. Set the flower table base on a level floor for interior use. A French country dining room suits its aged finish. It also works as a French country table base in a casual room.

It favored curving lines, shells, and flowers over heavy symmetry. Country makers later simplified these flowing forms into a floral pedestal table base for everyday rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFor More Reading from the Web\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eWant to see where floral ornament came from in French design?
