The frames and legs are all solid and sturdy. They date from the 19th century. The French call the curving legs \u003cem\u003eos de mouton\u003c\/em\u003e, or mutton bone, because the S-shaped curve looks like a sheep's leg bone. The shape belongs to the Louis XIII style of the 1600s, and French workshops kept making it long after. Each oak frame has shaped legs joined by a matching H-stretcher beneath an arched back, and the wood keeps the soft wear and lighter patches of a long life around the table.
