[ From Pembroke, a town and shire in Wales. ] A style of four-legged drop-leaf table in vogue in England, chiefly in the later Georgian period. [ 1913 Webster ]

The characteristic which gives a table the name of Pembroke consists in the drop leaves, which are held up, when the table is open, by brackets which turn under the top. F. C. Morse. [ Webster 1913 Suppl. ]
