Le métal: bronzes, cuivres, fer forgé, vases, pendules
This is a 1905 Paris catalogue of an exhibition of decorative metalwork, published by A. Guérinet for the Musée des arts décoratifs and the Louvre's Pavillon de Rohan. Its plates are rotated, measured photographic reproductions of bronzes, clocks, cast and wrought iron, and vases. The pictures show ornamental mounts, candelabra-like supports, clock faces set in architectural frames, and Neoclassical and Rococo scrollwork, useful to a designer studying historic metal ornament and cartouche framing.
