Why is it called a Huntboard?
1 Answer
A huntboard is a compact table at a height that it would be comfortable to eat around while standing. The term ‘huntboard’ came into use in the early 1900s, as this piece of furniture, previously called a slab table, was rebranded in a Romantic light. Legends were told that it was used to serve refreshments to fox hunters. Shop a collection of vintage huntboards from top sellers on 1stDibs.
