  • Diorama - When used in relation to antiques and collectables, a diorama is a three dimensional display, usually within a domed or rectangular glass case.

    As the feathers of birds are more easily damaged than the skin of an animal, most taxidermied birds are displayed within a glazed diorama. The birds will be set in lifelike poses in a naturalistic landscape, usually standing a branch within the diorama. Animals will be displayed set in the landscape they inhabit. The foreground will be set with gravel, rocks and bushes, while the background will be painted.

    While most natural history dioramas can be easily picked up and carried by one person, some larger examples were made that were suitable for display at exhibitions.

    The other type of diorama commonly seen is a model ship enclosed in a rectangular glass box, the ship depicted floating on the sea.
  • Cannaged Leather - Decoration of  leather by creating embossed, repeating patterns resembling canework in furniture, as in leather goods by Christian Dior.
