About the strength of cabriole legs in highboys. I have a few period furniture making books I've been reading/researching before heading to my July workshop. I came across where ..."the cabriole legs often split and even gave way under too much weight. Most furniture makers soon abandoned this..... for the bracket footed chest on chest." (In the 18th Century Style).
The queen anne highboy with cabriole legs is obviously still a very popular item. Is this an issue?
Many thanks, Ty
