The Trifid foot is one of four common variations on the Cabriole Leg. The others on the stool are (from left to right) Ball & Claw, Slipper and Pad. These feet can be on chairs, tables and case pieces.
Each knee is addressed in a different fashion, from an ornate Acanthus Leaf carving to an elegant sharp ridge.
The top edge is molded with a thumbnail and fillet shape that leads the eye up to a traditionally upholstered slip seat. The slip seat is constructed using layers of burlap, muslin, horsehair and cotton.

 

Made of South American Mahogany with Ash used for the slip seat frame. Finished with linseed oil, brushed shellac and wax.
