Non-corner cabriolet leg

[klkirkman]

Can anyone suggest a reference for the shape and proportions of a cabriolet leg that is not at the corner of a piece; such as a leg in the front of a side board.

Is there an accepted  way to scale the proportions of a corner leg so as to have harmony between them ?

Hi Karl, Yes there is a set centre cabriole leg, I will attach a sketch, “Basically” it’s the double of a corner leg, but to look in harmony with the corners, (in keeping).

Hi Karl,
Here is a sketch of a modern card table as a demonstion. The knee brackets
Are running straighter, than this example (They follow to the line of the rail,its jointed to ).
You will of course make it a true Cabriole leg though instead of this sample.
