- Skirt - In furniture, the skirt is a strip of wood underneath the top or front of the item. On chairs, the skirt is the support under the seat joining the legs, while on tables, the skirt is the support under the top, that assists in supporting the top and also joins the legs. On carcase furniture such as chests and cabinets, the skirt is the timber strip immediately under the drawers or cupboard.
- Knole Settee - A Knole settee is a settee with a high back and hinged arms which can be adjusted so they are upright, on an angle, or lying flat, in which position it becomes a daybed. It was named after a settee of this design made for Knole, a palace near Sevenoaks, Kent c 1605-20. The style became popular again amongst the well-to-do in the 1920s and 1930s.
