Elements d'orfevrerie is a 1748 Paris pattern book of silver and goldwork designs by the goldsmith Pierre Germain, published from his workshop at the Orfevrerie du roy for working silversmiths and their clients. Its plates show single-page engraved vessels and candlesticks drawn in clean outline with light shading, their rococo scrolls, shells and foliage set out plainly for a designer to study.
