  • Burr - Burr (or in the USA, burl) is the timber from the knotted roots or deformed branch of the tree, which when cut, displays the small circular knots in various gradations of colour. It is always cut into a decorative veneer, most commonly seen as burr walnut on 19th century furniture.
  • Tier - One or more under-shelves of a table or cabinet.
  • Demi Lune - Demi-lune is a French word translating to half-moon or crescent-shaped. In jewellery the demi lune shape is used in the design of pendants and earrings. The crescent shape adds a touch of elegance and femininity, and is often used to symbolize the moon or to evoke a sense of mystery and magic. In furniture design, a demi-lune table is a narrow, crescent-shaped table that is often used as an accent piece or in small spaces where a full-sized table would not fit. Demi-lune tables were popular in the 18th and 19th centuries and were often decorated with intricate carvings or inlaid designs.
