- 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.
- Secondary Timbers - As indicated by the name, these are less expensive and thus lower quality timbers used in the construction of an item in surface areas that may not generally be seen, such as backboards, or as the ground for veneers, drawer linings or for framing.
