Who introduced the cabriole leg?

1 Answer
Who introduced the cabriole leg?
The cabriole leg has a long history of use by ancient Greeks and Chinese but only arrived in Europe in the early 18th century. The design, which resembles animal legs, is characteristic of Chippendale and Queen Anne furniture in England and of Louis XV furniture in France. On 1stDibs, find a selection of cabriole-leg furniture from top sellers around the world.
