Lion claw furniture feet Duncan Phyfe style

Lion claw feet were a popular design element in furniture from the early 18th century onwards, often associated with the Chippendale and later the Duncan Phyfe styles. These feet were intended to add a touch of elegance and strength to furniture pieces, symbolizing power and status.

Duncan Phyfe, a renowned American cabinetmaker of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, frequently incorporated lion claw feet into his designs, drawing inspiration from classical motifs. These feet were typically made of carved wood or cast brass and were used on a variety of furniture pieces.

We are currently downsizing our great aunts very large home she is 93 and was US Politician spending more than 30 years in DC. We are sorting through years of collecting and life.

Hoping to move along some of the beautiful treasures to someone who will enjoy them now.
