	Pembroke table Federal Pembroke table: Table with two rectangular drop leaves Simple top and leaves with straight plain edges The term "Pembroke table" was first used in England in the 1760s and referred to small elegant tables with short rectangular leaves. It was supposedly named after a Countess of Pembroke in Wales, who first ordered it. In America, Pembroke tables were made in the Chippendale style before the Revolution, but were particularly popular in the Federal era. Made in many part of the young Republic, their place of origin may be difficult to determine.

	Trestle Postlike or pierced upright supporting a table top. A trestle foot is vertical and ends on a horizontal board on the ground; inverted T shape. Originally, all tables were merely loose boards placed upon trestles or horses. In the Middle Ages, the "dormant table" was a permanent structure of table with trestles attached; this became the fixed-table type. The trestle form survived, as distinguished from the four-legged or the pedestal table.
