  • Platform Base - Flat-surfaced bases supporting the pedestals of dining tables and some other smaller occasional tables, including console and pier tables. Introduced during the Regency period, they continued in popularity throughout the 19th century. On tables, platform bases are usually of triform, or three-cornered shape, supported by bun, turned or carved claw feet. They may be either of veneered box-like construction, or formed from the solid timber.
  • Pad Foot - In furniture design, a pad foot refers to a type of

    furniture foot that is shaped like a flattened ball or pad. It is a common

    design element in traditional furniture styles, particularly in English and

    American furniture from the 18th and 19th centuries. The pad foot is typically

    wider than it is tall, with a broad, flat surface that rests directly on the

    floor. It is often carved or turned with decorative details, such as fluting or

    ridges, and can be made from a variety of materials, such as wood, metal, or

    leather.



    Pad feet are used to support the legs of various types of

    furniture, such as chairs, tables, and cabinets. They are often used in

    combination with other types of feet, such as bun feet or bracket feet, to

    create a more complex and decorative furniture design. In terms of

    functionality, pad feet provide stability and support to furniture pieces, and

    can help distribute the weight of the piece evenly across the floor. In terms

    of design, they add a classic and traditional look to furniture designs, and

    are often used to create a sense of elegance and refinement.

  • Pilasters - In furniture a pilaster is a flattened column-like detail

    applied to furniture. It is similar to a pilaster in architecture, but it is

    typically smaller and less ornate. Pilasters are often used to decorate the

    fronts of bookcases, cabinets, and other pieces of furniture. Pilasters can be

    made of wood, metal, or other materials. They can be fluted, carved, or plain.

    Pilasters are often used to add a touch of elegance and sophistication to

    furniture.
