The French said “Fan” table, sometimes called also “Italian style table”, had a architectural stand typical of the French Renaissance style and was certainly created by Jacques Anrouet du Cerceau in the 16th century. This object is inspired of the Roman cartibulum, a console-table with back to back animals stands. Many artists of the French Fontainebleau School, such as Hugues Sambin, have sublimed many models and this table became a classic of Renaissance table.
