The Universal System of Household Furniture is a 1762 London furniture pattern book by William Ince and partners, published for cabinetmakers and furniture makers in the Georgian taste. Its plates show architectural and decorative furniture designs engraved with careful perspective. Designers can take from them the rococo scrollwork, pierced splats, and tiered shelf and bracket profiles that defined mid-eighteenth-century English furniture ornament.
