 Furniture Feet available at NMW come in many creative shapes and sizes. Many are round in nature, and are also referred to as Bun Feet. While the Tulip Design is one of the most popular shapes in the square ogee arena it also has found its way on many trunks, chests, and kitchen applications in its round form. It can be used at its full height for trunks and furniture feet as well as being trimmed for kitchen applications. Like many of our other bun feet styles, the Tulip feet are sanded to 150 grit, giving these feet the NMW mark of excellence.

Today with the use of rotary knife lathes we can incorporate the many shapes of the round bun feet into a broad collection of square furniture feet.

One might compare the tulip round bun, part 4100, to the tulip square bun, part 4102 to see the similarities and differences of these furniture feet. As typical with NMW quality, these parts are carefully sanded to 150 grit. These elements carry the simple elegance that has set the standard for furniture feet today. .

Cabinet and Furniture 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. Choose from a great variety of furniture feet, which are offered in many wood types and in styles that will match the decor that you are creating. |
