  • Oviform /ovoid - The outline loosely resembling the shape of an egg.
  • 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.

    Patina is also the term applied to the bloom or film found on old bronzes due to oxidisation.
