Why is it called a hunt table?
A hunt table is called that because originally this type of furniture was taken outside to serve food and drinks after a fox hunt. Most hunt tables have a semicircular or rectangular shape and are lower than the average dining table for ease of serving. On 1stDibs, shop an assortment of hunt tables.
