- Grande Sonnerie - A grande sonnerie is a striking system in a clock which strikes each quarter hour, striking one, two three or four times, followed by striking the hour on a different toned bell. The preceding hour may also be struck as each quarter hour.
- 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.
