sofa tables (<tables by location or context: position>, <tables by location or context>, ... Furnishings and Equipment (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Long, narrow tables having drop leaves and usually drawers, popular in the 18th and 19th centuries. The sofa table was usually placed in front of a sofa, but could be placed behind it. Modern versions typically have no drop leaves and are placed behind the sofa. For smaller drop leaf tables often placed near sofas or other seats, see "Pembroke tables." For shorter tables without drop leaves that are placed in front of sofas, see "coffee tables."

Additional Notes:
Chinese (traditional) ..... 具有活動翻板,且通常有抽屜的長窄形桌子,風行於西元十八與十九世紀。沙發桌通常置於沙發前方,但亦可能放置於其後。現代版本通常沒有活動翻板,且置於沙發後方。若是指外型較小、具有活動翻板、通常置於沙發或其他座椅附近的桌子,請參閱「摺面桌」。若是指長度較短、沒有活動翻板、置於沙發前方的桌子,請參閱「咖啡茶几」。 
Dutch ..... Oorspronkelijk gebruikt als historische benaming voor tafels uit het eind van de 18e en het begin van de 19e eeuw, die leken op Pembroketafels, met scharnierende bladen aan elk uiteinde. Ze waren bestemd om voor een sofa te worden gezet. De benaming wordt tegenwoordig meer algemeen gebruikt voor elke tafel die bestemd is om voor of achter een sofa te staan. 
Spanish ..... Originalmente, término de época usado para describir mesas de fines del siglo XVIII y principios del siglo XIX parecidas a las mesas Pembroke con alas abatibles en cada extremo ideadas para ser ubicadas frente a sofás. El término ha sido usado más generalmente por cualquier mesa destinada a ser colocada en frente de o al lado de un sofá.
