  • Pad Foot - In furniture design, a pad foot refers to a type of

    furniture foot that is shaped like a flattened ball or pad. It is a common

    design element in traditional furniture styles, particularly in English and

    American furniture from the 18th and 19th centuries. The pad foot is typically

    wider than it is tall, with a broad, flat surface that rests directly on the

    floor. It is often carved or turned with decorative details, such as fluting or

    ridges, and can be made from a variety of materials, such as wood, metal, or

    leather.



    Pad feet are used to support the legs of various types of

    furniture, such as chairs, tables, and cabinets. They are often used in

    combination with other types of feet, such as bun feet or bracket feet, to

    create a more complex and decorative furniture design. In terms of

    functionality, pad feet provide stability and support to furniture pieces, and

    can help distribute the weight of the piece evenly across the floor. In terms

    of design, they add a classic and traditional look to furniture designs, and

    are often used to create a sense of elegance and refinement.

  • Lappet Decoration - In the context of furniture, ceramics, and oriental wares, the word "lappet" refers to a decorative motif that consists of a repeated pattern of stylized or abstracted "lappets."

    A lappet in this context is a decorative element that resembles a small, hanging flap of cloth or fabric, but rather are stylized patterns that resemble the shapes and folds of lappets. They can be found on a wide range of objects, including furniture, vases, bowls, and plates.

    Lappet decoration can take many different forms, but typically consists of a series of semi-circular or pointed shapes that are repeated in a continuous pattern. The shapes may be simple or highly ornate and may be arranged in a regular or irregular pattern. The design may also include other decorative elements, such as floral or foliate motifs.

    Lappet decoration is often associated with Asian design traditions, and can be found on a wide range of objects from these regions, including Chinese porcelain, where lappet decoration is often used as a symbol of abundance and prosperity, and is believed to have protective and auspicious qualities.
