Vasi, candelabri, cippi, sarcofagi, tripodi, lvcerne ed ornamenti antichi
Piranesi's 1778 Roman publication of antique vases, candelabra, sarcophagi, tripods and lamps, printed in Rome for scholars and collectors of classical antiquities. Its etched plates are rotated sideways on the page and show ornate carved relief, foliage, griffins and figures, offering designers dense classical ornament, decorative borders and sculptural silhouettes to adapt.
