Das Kunstgewerbe im Altertum
Das Kunstgewerbe im Altertum is a German survey of ancient decorative arts by Hugo Blümner and Otto von Schorn, published in Leipzig and Prague in 1885 for students and scholars of the applied arts. Its pictures are restrained engraved line drawings of classical objects, including a carved acanthus and scroll架 block, a winged female figure on a lotus base, a griffin-topped stone post, and a handled amphora with a zigzag band, offering designers clear models of ancient ornament built from volutes, palmettes, and wings.
