Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

A Visual Dictionary of Decorative and Domestic Arts provides a common and unambiguous vocabulary for the parts of handcrafted decorative, domestic, and artistic items. Terminology for a broad array of object types is presented alongside original 3D illustrations that facilitate objective referencing. The reference enhances learning, labeling, and discussing various craft items in great physical detail.

Sixty-four 3D graphic illustrations provide an effective visual format for identifying the vocabulary/location of the parts on individual objects.

The dictionary is divided into five major sections:

Decorative Objects such as a basket, jar/jug, flatware Domestic Furnishings such as a bed with bedding, upholstered chairs, tables Artistic Works and Tools such as books, prints, paintings, photographs, and sculpture Jewelry Adornment Items such as earrings, necklaces, pins, and watches Accessory Articles such as a hat, pipe, comb, and fan

The thoroughness of the annotations makes this volume an essential tool for museum curators and conservators, librarians, connoisseurs, buyers and dealers; artists and crafts persons, collectors, designers, registrars and anyone with an interest in visual history.
