Georgian

Georgian is a period of design in English furniture from 1714 to 1795. Among the best known designers were Hepplewhite, Sheraton, Chippendale, and the Adams Brothers. Georgian pieces are likely to be made of Oak, Mahogany, or Walnut.

Pembroke table

The Pembroke table is a lightweight, drop-leaf table. The pembroke table is usually made of mahogany and has two short drawers or one long drawer. The pembroke table is designed for occasional use and has versatile functions, such as dining or writing. The pembroke table is a suitable option for small spaces as their ability to open the leaves provides extra space when needed.

Inlay

Form of decoration which involves cutting small pieces of ivory, precious metals, mother-of-pearl, or wood which are then fitted into carved-out recesses of the same shape on a solid piece of furniture to create a picture or geometric design. Differs from marquetry which uses applied veneers.

Marquetry

A flush pattern produced by inserting contrasting materials in a veneered surface. Rare, grained, and colored woods are usually used, but thin layers of tortoiseshell, ivory, mother-of-pearl, and metals are also seen. If the pattern is of a geometric nature, it is called parquetry.

Satinwood

Satinwood is a bright, rich golden-yellow wood, hard in texture. This wood is often imported from Brazil or grown in southern India and Ceylon. Satinwood is valued in cabinetry work.
