Best Answer

In the really old days when house floors were made of stone or rough wood, they would slosh water around to carry the dirt and dust away. The result would be rotted chair and table legs. In fact, today, they can verify a real antique if the feet are rotted off.

So, some enterprising chap started putting extra 'feet' on the furniture he made to keep the water away from the wood . . . the practice continues ofr looks, even though we stopped using lots of water on our floors long ago.
