  • Column - An architectural feature sometimes used for decorative effect and sometimes as part of the supporting construction. Columns should generally taper slightly towards the top. They may be plain or decorated with carving, fluting or reeding. Columns may be fully rounded or, more commonly, half-rounded and attached with glue, screws or pins to the outer stiles of doors, or the facing uprights on cabinets and bureaux.
  • Mahogany - Mahogany is a dense, close grained red-coloured timber from the West Indies and Central America. It was first imported into Europe in the the early 18th century and its use continued through the 19th century. It was popular for furniture making because of its strength, the wide boards available, the distinctive grain on some boards, termed flame mahogany and the rich warm colour of the timber when it was polished.. The "flame" was produced where a limb grew out from the trunk of the tree, and this timber was usually sliced into veneers for feature panels on doors, backs and cornices.

    Some terms used to describe mahogany relate to the country from which it originally came, such as "Cuban" mahogany, "Honduras" mahogany etc. However unless the wood has been tested the names assigned are more a selling feature, rather than a true indication of the timber's origin.
  • Pad Foot - In furniture design, a pad foot refers to a type of

    furniture foot that is shaped like a flattened ball or pad. It is a common

    design element in traditional furniture styles, particularly in English and

    American furniture from the 18th and 19th centuries. The pad foot is typically

    wider than it is tall, with a broad, flat surface that rests directly on the

    floor. It is often carved or turned with decorative details, such as fluting or

    ridges, and can be made from a variety of materials, such as wood, metal, or

    leather.



    Pad feet are used to support the legs of various types of

    furniture, such as chairs, tables, and cabinets. They are often used in

    combination with other types of feet, such as bun feet or bracket feet, to

    create a more complex and decorative furniture design. In terms of

    functionality, pad feet provide stability and support to furniture pieces, and

    can help distribute the weight of the piece evenly across the floor. In terms

    of design, they add a classic and traditional look to furniture designs, and

    are often used to create a sense of elegance and refinement.

  • George Iii - George III (1738 - 1820) was King of Great Britain and Ireland from 1760 to 1820.
