Learn More About Barley Twist

Furniture with spiral-turned legs or trim is known as “barley twist” or “barley sugar” and it first appeared in England and France in the 1600s. The furniture (and candle sticks!) was given that name because they resembled the twisted sticks of barley sugar which were a popular candy at the time.
