Kirchenschmuck: Sammlung von Vorlagen für kirchliche Stickereien, Holz- & Metallarbeiten & Glasmalereien
This is a German pattern collection of church decoration models for embroidery, woodwork, metalwork and stained glass, edited by Georg Dengler and issued in 1876 by Heidelberg University Library. Its plates show ecclesiastical designs drawn in outline, including roundels with angels, a Gothic altar or tabernacle elevation, and inscribed panels with a Madonna and a seated saint flanked by lambs. A designer could take from them the ornate Gothic framing, foliate borders and heraldic-style rosette grids as ready-made motifs.
