The edge of the top carved with ribbons and flowers, the stem fluted and carved with a twist, the leg carved with acanthus leaf terminating in a claw and ball foot. A similar example from the period can be found in Arthur Negus book ,Going for a Song: English Furniture, page 119 plate 56. See image opposite.
