What's a hunt table?
1 Answer
A hunt table is a low table that features a semicircular design. Its name comes from its original purpose. During the 18th and 19th centuries, the staff of British estates would place these tables outdoors and fill them with refreshments for duck hunters to enjoy during or after a day of sport.
