Bun Feet and Sofa Legs

Furniture and Cabinet Feet

During the Victorian period, furniture legs and furniture feet were discretely hidden by tapestry. It was the finest fabric used to hide parts that people of that time actually associated with human anatomy. While to today's mind such thoughts are preposterous, during this period of history virtue was so extolled that no extent of protective care of the minds of men would be considered extreme. As time moved forward the tapestry were lifted. Furniture designs moved towards the development of Queen Anne legs, fine carvings, and furniture feet. While styles varied by region and period, these basic parts of furniture design have developed as useful parts of daily living which transcend time and culture.

Today we find furniture feet on various trunks, chests of drawers, armories, as well as kitchen cabinetry. The feet on cabinetry varies in style; from sofa legs, bun feet and ogee bracket furniture feet, to the highly styled carved claw feet and Queen Anne style vanity legs. These hand crafted feet add to both the simple elegance of many a kitchen as well as the value of the same. Many of the elaborate designs of period furniture feet now are creeping into our kitchen living spaces with a flare of the warmth of a living room romance in the family setting of the kitchen.

The pictured furniture feet on this trunk are a reproduction developed by Two Day Designs using material salvaged from an old Sears and Roebuck Warehouse to produce the highly distressed piece. Such pieces add to the charm of many a family's dwelling.

Choose from a great variety of furniture feet, which are offered in up to 10 wood types and in styles that will match the decor that you are crating.
