[Album de serrurerie]

1789 · 133 pictures

This 1789 French trade album of locksmith's work, catalogued by the Winterthur Library, presents numbered plates of cabinet hardware and brasses, likely intended for craftsmen and buyers choosing fittings. The plates show engraved drawings of hinges, escutcheons, keyhole plates, and drawer pulls in rococo and Louis XV scroll styles, with bail handles, rosette backplates, and cast ornament that a designer could adapt for decorative metalwork or period furniture motifs.
