- 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.
- Regency Period - The Regency period in English furniture design refers to the period when King George III, was declared unfit to rule in 1811, and his son ruled as proxy as Prince Regent, until 1820, and then, after the death of his father as George IV until his death in 1830. The Regency period was preceded by the Georgian period (George I, George II, and George III: 1714 - 1811), and was followed by the William IV period, which only lasted until 1837 when William IV died as was succeeded by Queen Victoria.
