| Decorative Burl Walnut Coffee Table with cabriole knee, H:19.5" W:51.5" D:31.5". The Cabriole is a curved leg with outcurved knee and incurved ankle. The foot may be a club, a claw-and-ball, a paw or scroll, and there may be a carved ornament on the knee such as the scallop shell or the lion motif. It first was originated in Italy and is a conventionalized representation of the rear leg of a leaping goat. Modeled after an animal's leg, the S-shaped cabriole leg gives furniture a more intimate, human quality than the massive turned legs of the William and Mary style of the English history. The cabriole leg is also extremely practical; the balance it achieves makes it possible to support heavy pieces of case furniture on slim legs, without the use of stretchers.
