Sabre leg

Type of leg form in the shape of a sabre, either round or square-sectioned, and gently tapering to the ground. Originally used by the Greeks as the leg form on klismos chairs, sabre legs became popular during revival movements in the 18th and 19th Century with NeoClassical styles including the Empire and Regency periods.

Burl

Burl is a type of wood that comes from an irregular growth on a tree. Burl wood is usually cut in a thin veneer form to show its exquisite detail. Burl wood is most common in walnut, elm and yew. Burl wood has been used to decorate furniture for centuries and was highly popular during the Biedermeier period.

Veneer

A wood finishing technique in which thin sheet of fine wood is applied to a the surface of a coarser wood or other structural material for decoration. Veneer is used to give furniture pieces a finer, more pleasing appearance.
