The klismos chair has two back support rails that go up to connect to a single concave backrest. The saber leg comes from the outwardly directed legs of the klismos chair which can turn perpendicular or parallel to the chair seat.<\/p>\n<p>The saber leg design became more widely used during the 18th and early 19th-century British Regency and American Empire furniture periods. The saber leg is sometimes known as the \u201cswept\u201d or \u201cWaterloo\u201d leg. Together with the cabriole leg, the saber leg is one of the most commonly incorporated furniture designs in modern furniture from antique styles.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_Famously_Used_the_Saber_Leg_Style\"><\/span>Who Famously Used the Saber Leg Style?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Thomas Sheraton was a renowned English furniture designer in the 18th century who made use of the saber leg style in his furniture designs. The Sheraton style is famously related to the furniture of the 1790s and early 19th century.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_Other_Antique_Furniture_Legs\"><\/span>What are Other Antique Furniture Legs?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Different furniture leg types can be used to identify and date antique pieces from a variety of eras in addition to being an essential component of the overall look and functioning of furniture.
