Bombé

Bombé is a French term that means “blown out”. Bombé is used to describe furniture with bulging convex sides. The large outward swelling curve makes bombé furniture easy to recognize. Traditionally, bombé furniture comes in the form of chests, commodes, and armoires.

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.

Rococo

Rococo is an artistic movement in French design originating in the 18th century after Baroque. It is notable for asymetrical styles and tended to be over-ornamented. The name is derived from the French words rocaille and coquille rock and shell, both prominent motifs in this decoration.
