As in all fields of knowledge, the antique trade also uses specific terms.

From types of furniture to the styles that define certain eras, from craftsmanship to the decorations made by master craftsmen, there are many words—often curious—that belong to this world which fascinates us so much.
We have tried to collect the main terms in this small antique glossary. We will try to update it frequently with new terms that we discover from time to time.
