Mahogany dining room pedestals. Find Duncan Phyfe pedestals, reeded and acanthus leaf carved pedestals here. High-end dining room table pedestals are solid mahogany and have heavy brass capped feet and are all around sturdy, heavy, durable and well reinforced pedestals. The Duncan Phyfe style is characterized by carved or reeded legs and neoclassic motifs. It is named after American cabinetmaker Duncan Phyfe ( 1795 – 1848), and is considered by some art historians as more of an adaptation and refinement of Adam, Sheraton, Hepplewhite and Empire than a style in itself.
