- Bevel / Chamfer - In furniture making, a chamfered corner refers to a technique used to create a smooth, angled edge on the corner of a piece of furniture. This is typically done by cutting away a small portion of the corner at an angle, typically 45 degrees, creating a diagonal edge, rather than a sharp 90-degree angle. This technique can be used on various parts of a piece of furniture such as table legs, drawer fronts, or door frames. Chamfering can add visual interest to a piece and can help to soften the overall look of a piece of furniture. It is often used in conjunction with other techniques, such as rounding edges or using contrasting wood species to create a more elegant, sophisticated look. Chamfering is a simple way to add a touch of elegance to a piece of furniture and it is a common technique used by furniture makers.
- Campana Form Vases or Urns -
A campana form vase or urn is a type of ceramic or metal container that is characterized by its reverse bell-like shape. The shape is typically wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, with a curved or flared opening at the top. The vase or urn may have a handle or handles on either side of the opening.
The campana form was popular in ancient Greece and Rome, and the design has been revived in various forms throughout the history of art, including the Renaissance and the Art Nouveau period.
