- Lignum Vitae - A West Indian wood, dark greenish brown in colour with black streaks and very dense, used both as a veneers, and for small objects where durability was important, including lawn bowls, snuff boxes, turned cups and bowls and other treen objects.
- Circa - A Latin term meaning 'about', often used in the antique trade to give an approximate date for the piece, usually considered to be five years on either side of the circa year. Thus, circa 1900 means the piece was made about 1900, probably between 1895 and 1905. The expression is sometimes abbreviated to c.1900.
