Meaning of PEMBROKE TABLE

Webster's 1913 Dictionary
 
 Definition: 
\Pem"broke ta`ble\ [From Pembroke, a town and
shire in Wales.]
A style of four-legged table in vogue in England, chiefly in
the later Georgian period.
      The characteristic which gives a table the name of
      Pembroke consists in the drop leaves, which are held
      up, when the table is open, by brackets which turn
      under the top.                           --F. C. Morse.
