- Prince of Wales Feathers - The triple plumed crest of the Prince of Wales, from the 114th century, showing three ostrich feathers surmounting a crown. The motif was adopted in the 18th and early 19th century in various stylised forms by wood carvers and furniture designers.
- 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.
