The table with the "ears" on the corners?
No-one really knows what they were for. Personally I support that theory that they were for standing a candlestick on and keeping it out of your elbows - maybe whilst playing cards.
IMHO this is the ugly one
If you're going to repro any of these though, do yourself a favour and read Norm Vandal's excellent book on Queen Anne furniture first. Jeffrey Greene's 18th century furniture book is good too.

Actually, I understand that's a very popular design. Plans are available from Disney.
