Office Furniture Tables First: In European furniture, elaborate and gilded tables began to appear in the finest stately houses and palaces. Tables covered in gesso and carved detail were much prized, but it was not until the mid- to late 17th century that tables designed for a particular role began to develop their own distinctive style and character.

Paneled walls were often cover! with scenic wallpaper or painted scenes instej of with hangings.
