hoof foot

Jeżeli to jest oczywiście kopytkiem to można to określić jako hoof foot.

hoof foot

The hoof foot is an early style carved to resemble a realistic animal hoof (typically that of a deer). It developed along with the cabriole leg with which it usually appears, towards the end of the 17th century. It is also sometimes called a pied-de-biche, which translates to "deer's foot" in French.

Hoof feet are most characteristic of Régence, William and Mary, early Louis XV and Queen Anne furniture, although it continued throughout the 18th century.

It is a foot. If necessary, one can add a "foot in the form of a hoof."

Foot
The inspiration for most furniture feet comes from animal feet, such as hooves, paws, and talons, as well as forms found in the plant world, such as roots, vegetables, flowers and bulbs. We take special care to match the proportion and design of the feet with the rest of the leg, to keep a consistent overall form.
