  • 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.
  • Jacquard Fabric - Jacquard fabric is woven on a jacquard loom, which allows intricate and complex patterns to be created. The jacquard loom is controlled by a system of punched cards or a computer program that controls the movement of the loom and allows for the creation of complex patterns in the fabric.

    Jacquard fabric is known for its elaborate and detailed designs, which can include intricate floral patterns, geometric designs, and other complex motifs. The patterns are woven into the fabric, rather than printed or embroidered, which gives them a unique texture and depth.

    Jacquard fabrics can be made from a variety of fibress, including silk, cotton, wool, and synthetic materials. They are often used for upholstery, drapery, and other decorative applications, as well as for clothing such as dresses, suits, and jackets.
