What are fancy table legs called?
1 Answer
Fancy table legs are called by a variety of names. Ones with very small ribs are reeded, while those with more widely spaced ribs are fluted. Legs that scroll outward are known as cabriole legs. Baroque chairs sometimes had carved S-shaped ones commonly referred to as Flemish scroll legs. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of vintage and antique tables on 1stDibs.
