Cabriole Leg

A Cabriole Leg is a distinctive furniture leg characterised by its graceful double curve, with the upper section curving outward and the lower section curving inward before terminating in a decorative foot. Originating in early eighteenth-century France and becoming highly fashionable during the Queen Anne, Georgian and Rococo periods, cabriole legs are commonly found on chairs, tables, chests and cabinets. They often terminate in pad, ball-and-claw, hoof or scroll feet, showcasing the skill of the cabinet maker and the elegance of period furniture. *Related Terms*\ Ball and Claw Foot, Cabriole, Georgian Furniture, Pad Foot, Queen Anne Furniture, Rococo, Scroll Foot.
