Huntboards
Huntboard appears to be a twentieth century term for what Southerners referred to in their inventories as slabs or sideboards. They typically have taller legs than sideboards and contain fewer drawers or cabinets.
There is a myth that these serving pieces were often carried outside to provide refreshments for men just back from a hunt, but scholars now believe most slabs stayed inside the house.
