Delle antichità di Ercolano is a 1757 Neapolitan folio of plates from the Royal Printing Press in Naples, compiled by Baiardi and Carcani to record antiquities excavated at Herculaneum for scholars and collectors. The plates are engraved and mostly printed on the page with captions below, showing painted figures, bronze statuettes, lamps and candelabra; a designer can take their clean outline drawing and classical costume detail as reference for antique-style ornament.
