Neues Verzeichniss und Muster-Charte des Meubles-Magazin
A German furniture catalogue and pattern chart issued in Leipzig in 1795 by Friedrich Gottlob Hofmann, offering furniture designs to cabinetmakers and buyers. Its plates show chairs, a writing desk, a small table with a pull-out drawer, a barrel-shaped stand and a wheel-like frame, drawn in clean outline with light shading. A designer might take from them the simple tapered legs, pierced splat backs and rounded seat profiles of late eighteenth-century neoclassical furniture.
