Antick

Antick refers to a small, ornamental carving or decorative element, often found in architecture or furniture. These carvings are typically detailed and can depict various motifs, such as leaves, scrolls, or mythological creatures. Anticks are usually applied to larger structures or objects to add visual interest and a sense of craftsmanship. They are not structural components but rather embellishments. The term can also be used to describe a playful or whimsical mannerism, a quaint or odd behavior, or a small, antique object. In a broader sense, an antick can be anything that is considered charmingly old-fashioned or eccentric. The focus is on a distinctive, often handcrafted, detail that contributes to the overall aesthetic appeal or character of an item or person.
