Columns can be found on antique furniture from almost every era. They flank the drawers of chests of drawers and writing furniture or actually have a supporting function in the form of table legs.
A capital is the upper end of a column, pillar or pilaster. Capitals originate from Greek antiquity and can be divided into three widespread orders.
