This item has been sold, and the description, image and price are for reference purposes only.

Patination / Patina - In broad terms, patination refers to the exterior surface appearance of the timber, the effect of fading caused by exposure to sunlight and air over the course of a century or more, changing the piece to a soft, mellow colour.

As patina is very difficult to replicate, it is one of the most important guides to determining the age of furniture.

Patina is also the term applied to the bloom or film found on old bronzes due to oxidisation.
Baluster (glass) - An architectural term for a column in a balustrade or staircase.

When used to describe glass, it can either refer to the shape of the stem of a wine glass, being slender above and pear shaped below, or the shape of the whole vessel, usually a vase. In fact the baluster shape is often described as being vase-like.

The description of a vase as being of baluster shape covers a wide variety of shapes that often bear no resemblance to the original architectural form.
