Promptuarium artis argentariæ : ex quo, centum exquisito studio inventis, delineatis, ac in ære incisis tabulis propositis, elegantissimæ, ac innumeræ educi possunt novissimæ ideæ ...
Promptuarium artis argentariæ is a Latin pattern book of silverwork designs by Giovanni Giardini, published in Rome in 1750 for silversmiths and church plate makers. Its engraved plates show Baroque candlesticks, stands and ceremonial objects with dense scrollwork, putti and figures, which a designer could draw on for ornamental metalwork and Baroque decorative motifs.
