Muster-Werke aus der Nürnberger Bauhütte: Für den Drechsler
A Heideloff-edited pattern book from 1851 Nuremberg, issued by the Heidelberg University Library, presenting model designs for turners and woodworkers. Its plates show measured engravings of chairs, stools, candlesticks, turned pedestals and urn-shaped vessels, drawn in clean outline with light shading. A designer could draw on the sturdy turned legs, spindle backs and Gothic-inflected column profiles as ready references for furniture silhouettes and decorative ornament.
