Clubfooted table

How does a "clubfooted table" look like? It seems to me that it is a piece of Biedermeier furniture. Are the legs of the table bowed/curved?

Thanks for the answer

I have heard the term "clawfoot" more frequently than "clubfoot". The part of the leg that touches the floor is called the foot. In Victorian furniture, it could be shaped as a club (like a golf club) or a claw (a lion's paw).
