Palladian - Andrea Palladio (1505-80), was an Italian architect and his building designs included use of pediments, cornices, lion masks, paws, acanthus leaves and swags. Palladio did not design any furniture, but his architectural elements have been carried through to furniture by other designers, the most notable of whom was Englishman, William Kent working in the first half of the 18th century.
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.
