- Circa - A Latin term meaning 'about', often used in the antique trade to give an approximate date for the piece, usually considered to be five years on either side of the circa year. Thus, circa 1900 means the piece was made about 1900, probably between 1895 and 1905. The expression is sometimes abbreviated to c.1900.
- Pucci, Emilio - With his extremely brightly coloured geometric or wavy patterns, the designs of Italian nobleman, fashion designer and politician, Emilio Pucci (1914-1992) became iconic during the 1960s.
His instantly recognisable clothes are also immensely fashionable and wearable today and go through periods of popularity every few years.
As with many popular designs, there were copies, both contemporary and modern. Genuine pieces should include a ‘Emilio’ signature, denoting it is an authentic Pucci piece.
