Comments
The triangular table stands on three cabriole legs ending in pad feet. A fourth leg attached to a swing rail supports a folding top that hangs down in the back of the table. The front leg has ogee-shaped cuts on both faces of the uppermost block, forming a rudimentary lambrequin. Similar cuts are on the front sides only of the side legs. The swing leg has no cuts.
