Tables are often key specimens of a particular style, era, or furniture designer. There are primarily two categories of antique tables: accent tables and dining tables. The following list includes the most common types of antique tables that you are likely to encounter in the collectibles world. Though the forms may date back centuries, most remain common today and can be found in both antique and modern versions.

Butler's table: This type of accent table originated as a light, portable type of furniture during the 18th century. It consists of a tray and a folding stand.

It is the antique version of the current-day TV tray table. Butterfly table: This drop-leaf, gate-leg table is a smaller table used for dining that likely developed in America at the turn of the 18th century. The term "butterfly" refers to the wing-shaped braces that hold the leaves up when they are in use.

Console or pier table: A console table has one plain, straight side that is placed up against a wall. The other side of the table can be quite ornate. Console or pier tables of the late 17th century were accent tables that were attached to the wall, which were visually reminiscent of a pier that juts out from one end of land into the water.

Demilune table: The name of this accent table refers to its shape. Demilune means "half-moon" in French. This table is shaped like a semicircle or has a leaf that drops down to form a full circle when raised. These tables were stored against a wall and were moved into the room for serving as needed.

Gate-leg table: This useful drop-leaf dining table has legs that swing out like a gate to support leaves when a larger table is needed. Often used in smaller settings, these tables can be stored against a wall and used as accent tables when they are not being used for dining. They usually have a circular or oval tray-like top. The term "gueridon" was a word describing the African servants of the time, which were also sometimes used as the bodily figures in the table design.
