Decorative Arts Glossary

The decorative arts world is full of unusual terminology, so here's a glossary to help you find what you want. Click on a term to see a brief description and, in most cases, examples that illustrate that term. (If you know any wonderfully arcane words we haven't included here, please contact the Librarian and we'll add them.)
