Spade foot
A square tapered foot, generally used in the late C18th on a tapered leg, usually found on chairs, tables and sideboards. Can also be called a thermed (or termed ) foot, a term (pardon the pun) derived from the name for the stones used in antiquity to make boundaries, and which they resemble.
