A PRECIOUS DETAIL
An antique credenza
A credenza is a dining room sideboard, which originated in 14th century Italy. Originally in Italian the name meant belief or trust (etymologically connected to the English word “credence”).
In the 16th century the act of credenza was the tasting of food and drinks by a servant for a lord or other important person (such as the pope or a cardinal) in order to test for poison. Poisoning was a common way to resolve conflicts and disputes among warring factions during the frequent banquets which were offered to important guests. In order to avoid this unfortunate occurrence, the food was placed on a sideboard or buffet and tasted by a Master Credenziere, who, after tasting the banquet proclaimed “You may partake of the credenza (or trustworthy) feast”.
Over the years, the credenza has thankfully lost its original purpose, but has acquired an equally important function as a side table on which to place dishes,cups and glasses,as well as bottles of good wine and liquor , and has retained its charming usefulness in any dining area.
