L'addobbatore moderno, ossia, Raccolta di 300 tavole rappresentanti oggetti d'arti e manifatture desunte dalle più recenti mode originali e straniere
L'addobbatore moderno is an 1843 Milan plate book of 300 tables by Giuseppe Cima and Giocondo Regazzoni, showing upholstery and furnishing designs drawn from recent fashions in Italy and abroad for tradesmen and decorators. The pictures show hand-coloured bed canopies, curtain swags, and draped valances in silk, velvet and lace, with tassels and carved finials. A designer could draw on their layered drapery, fringed trims and colour pairings of green, pink, yellow and blue for period interiors.
