Term for the Day: Casters

A caster is a wheel which is attached to the legs of a piece of furniture. Victorian furniture often featured casters so that the pieces could be easily moved without damaging the legs or scratching the floor. Larger pieces of furniture such as carts or trolleys which were employed in the serving of food often sported casters so that the servant’s job would be easier.
