  • Ball and Claw Feet - Are in the shape of a rounded ball, attached to the underside of the carcase by a wooden shank. Introduced during the late 17th century and found on furniture in the William and Mary and Queen Anne style, are commonly found on cabriole legs in the manner of Thomas Chippendale, and furniture imitating the mid-18th century Rococo style. The leg terminates in a ball held by a carved lion's or bird's claw.
  • George Ii - George II (1683 - 1760) was King of Great Britain and Ireland from 1727 until his death in 1760.
  • Claw Feet - Carved or cast in the shape of a lion's claw or the talons of other more fabulous beasts. They may be found on chair and table legs, supporting platform bases, and cabinets in the Classical Revival manner. Claw feet are not uncommon on Australian furniture made throughout the 1850s and 1860s, though, as with all forms of carving, the deeper and richer the claws are carved, the earlier the piece is likely to be.
  • Squab - A loose cushion that fits onto the seat of a chair or settee, and can be removed. Originally the squab was constructed from horsehair, then later coconut fibre.
  • Foliate - Decorated with leaves or leaf-like forms.
