- Bun Feet - Similar to ball feet, though somewhat compressed or flattened in appearance. Introduced during the late 17th century, but they have been used on furniture up to the present day.
- Cup and Cover - The cup and cover motif is a decorative element that was commonly used on the legs and balusters of antique furniture, particularly during the late Renaissance and Baroque periods. The motif typically consists of a small cup-shaped element at the top of the leg or baluster, which is then topped with a larger, domed cover. The cup and cover motif was often used to add a sense of elegance and ornamentation to furniture.
- Tier - One or more under-shelves of a table or cabinet.
- Corbel - An architectural term for a support for a projecting bracket, ostensibly supporting a beam or horizontal feature, but used in bookcases, sideboards and chests as a decorative element. Corbels are often carved with acanthus or other scrolling decoration.
- Panels - Timber pieces, usually of well-figured wood either recessed or applied over the frames of doors and as decoration elsewhere in the carcase of cabinet furniture. The panels may take a variety of shapes rectangular, square, shield shape, oval, half-round or in the form of Egyptian pylons.
