Abstract
The following presentation focuses on Grand Furniture in Portugal, from 1700 till 1820, with the interest of studying the „Credenza‟, a religious furniture linked to the cult of the Catholic Church, and the „Console‟, a civil furniture used in Salons and other luxurious interior environments. These pieces of furniture where interpreted in light of the main artistic movements which prevailed in Portugal during this period. On the other hand, an effort was made to highlight the influence of foreign artists and movements (English, French, Dutch) in their conception. Each piece of furniture is described by its main formal and stylistic features.
