Example sentences:
Ball and claw feet are the most familiar kind of traditional style bath foot. The foot consists of a claw or talon in relief grasping a ball which rests on the floor. Ball and claw feet vary greatly in the amount of detail and may be more or less ornate. (buzzle.com)
This is a very rare small foot stool. It is 10 1/2 in diameter and 5 tall. This is the way I purchased it, but I am sure at one time it probably had a rounded dome top cushion. The excellent cast ball and claw feet are in great condition. (Scripps Networks, Inc.)
Alastair A. Stair takes you on a journey across cultures in this history of the ball-and-claw foot and its regional variations, in terms of how the muscles are carved, how the claw is angled or curved, and the overall tension shown in the piece. (The Tauton Press)

agree Muneharu Ota : Ball-and-claw は、おそらく中国の『竜の爪に水晶』をモチーフとして、英国のアン女王時代(18世紀初頭)に生み出された家具(マホガニー材)の足のスタイルです。
