Record Type: concept
credences (dining room tables) (<tables by function>, tables (support furniture), ... Furnishings and Equipment (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Small tables on which vessels and dishes are placed pior to serving in a dining room. They differ from "credenzas (sideboards)" in that they are smaller and their form is of a table rather than case furniture. They may be designed so that they back flush against the table or a wall. The term originates in the custom at courts for food to be tasted and proven trustworthy before being served to the monarch. For similar tables used in churches near the altar, prefer "credence tables (religious building fixtures)."

Additional Notes:
Dutch ..... Kleine tafels waarop vaatwerk en gerechten worden geplaatst voordat ze worden geserveerd in de eetkamer. Het verschil met 'credenzas (dressoirs)' is dat ze kleiner zijn en de vorm van een tafel hebben in plaats van die van een kast. Soms zijn ze zo ontworpen dat ze vlak tegen de tafel of een muur kunnen worden geplaatst. De term stamt van de gewoonte aan het hof dat voedsel werd geproefd en de betrouwbaarheid ervan werd gekeurd voordat het aan de vorst werd geserveerd. Gebruik 'credensen (tafels)' voor soortgelijke tafels die in kerken bij het altaar worden gebruikt.
