- Pen Work - Pen work is a type of decoration on Japanned (black lacquered) furniture and smaller objects that was popular in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century. The decoration was painted on to the black lacquered surface in white and details and shading was added in black Indian ink, with Oriental scenes popular.
- 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.
