This is a 1710 Paris collection of ornamental engraved designs by Jean Bérain (1640-1711), issued for craftsmen and decorators, and showing painted and sculpted decoration from the Galerie d'Apollon at the Louvre and the grand apartment at the Tuileries. The pages show symmetrical panels framed with scrolling foliage, swags, and trophies, arranged as wall, ceiling, and door compositions that a designer could adapt for classical interior layouts, borders, and panelled joinery.
