Œuvres contenant un recueil de trophées, attributs, cartouches, vases, fleurs, ornemens & plusieurs desseins agréables pour broder des fauteuils
Ranson's 1778 Paris pattern book of French neoclassical ornament, published by Esnauts and Rapilly and intended for embroiderers designing chair upholstery. The plates are fine etchings of trophies, vases, flower garlands and cartouches framed on plain pages. A designer could take their light, looping line and compact flower-and-ribbon arrangements as models for borders, monograms and decorative panels.
