Tulipwood &#8211;<\/strong> Although it\u2019s often confused with rosewood, the tree that yields tulipwood belongs to a totally different genus. True to its name, the Liriodendron tulipifera (or tulip poplar) produces a tulip-shaped flower and rose-tinted wood. In contrast, genuine rosewood belongs to the Dalbergia genus and is known for its red color and sweet smell.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A. &#8211; <\/strong>Singerie first appeared in the work of Jean B\u00e9rain in the late 17th century and was especially popular in the following century. It often appears with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/style\/chinoiserie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">chinoiserie<\/a> motifs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>D. &#8211;<\/strong> Originally used in reference to the rockwork in the artificial grottoes of Versailles, the term came to be applied to any furniture ornamentation that resembled shells or garden rocks. Commonly found in the phrase rocaille et coquille.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>D. &#8211;<\/strong> Although the term was used in the late 17th century to refer to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/seating\/day-beds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">daybed<\/a>, it was in the 18th century that the first true canap\u00e9 appeared: a high-backed, somewhat formal piece that resembled a laterally extended fauteuil \u00e0 la reine. There followed several variations on the form, including the marquise, designed for two people; the canap\u00e9 \u00e0 confidante, which had a seat at each end, facing outward; and the causeuse, which curves inward so that those sitting on it face each other. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>B. &#8211;<\/strong> Also known as a vis-a-vis or siamoise<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>B. &#8211;<\/strong> The name comes from the fact that huchiers originally made special ornate wooden bread bins called huches.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>B. &#8211;<\/strong> The furniture form originated in the 17th century.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>C. &#8211;<\/strong> The craze for ebony in the early 17th century led master craftsmen, then called huchiers, to advertise their ability to work in this difficult wood. The word came to denote a master cabinetmaker of great skill. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>C. &#8211;<\/strong> The origin of this term is not clear, but since the design was developed decades after the French philosopher died, no direct connection can be drawn to him. It probably refers to the French origins of the form, adapted by American makers \u2014 most notably Duncan Phyfe \u2014 from similar <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/buy\/french-restoration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Restoration<\/a>-style pieces. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>D. &#8211;<\/strong> The box is either lined with metal and filled with ice as a wine cooler or, unlined, compartmented, and used to store wine and liquor bottles. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A. &#8211;<\/strong> This decorative technique was popular in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/storage-case-pieces\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">case furniture<\/a> of the 18th and 19th centuries. The technique was used in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/dining-entertaining\/glass\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">glassware<\/a> since ancient Roman times and was first applied to furniture in France at the height of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/style\/louis-xvi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Louis XVI<\/a> style, when it was made fashionable by a maker of mirrors and picture frames, Jean-Baptiste Glomy, after whom it is named.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>B. &#8211;<\/strong> A grisaille may be a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/art\/paintings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">painting<\/a> in its own right or serve as an underpainting for oil or as an engraver\u2019s model. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do You Speak Furniture in French?
