An acanthus is a leaf ornament used as a design element, which is modelled on a thistle plant native to the Mediterranean region.
Acanthus leaves are mainly found on the capitals of Corinthian columns, but are also used in furniture making as carvings on many different types of furniture.
An ornamental band is a vertical or horizontal row of ornaments.
Columns can be found on antique furniture from almost every era. They flank the drawers of chests of drawers and writing furniture or actually have a supporting function in the form of table legs.
