It was during
the 18th century that the dining room became a separate area within the
French home. Previously the table consisted of planks on trestles and were
removed at the end of the meal. Dressers were used primarily for food storage.
Over the years the dining room evolved into an area for discussion and
conviviality. Reflecting lifestyles, this room acquired more furniture
and continues to mirror prevailing tastes and styles. Click on the main
