Historical Note
The cabriole leg, seen here with shell‑capped detailing, became iconic in 18th‑century European furniture. Inspired by the natural curves of animal legs, it was widely used in Queen Anne and Louis XV styles. Historians often remark that nothing symbolises 18th‑century furniture more than the cabriole leg.
