Vases and ornaments designed for the use of architects, jewellers, modellers, chasers, die sinkers, founders, carvers, all ornamental manufacturers
A London pattern book of 1833 by Frederick Knight, issued for architects, jewellers, modellers, carvers and other ornamental manufacturers. Its plates are engraved sheets of Rococo-style vases, cartouches, friezes and ceiling roundels meant to be copied into finished work. A designer can take from them the scrolling C-curves, acanthus and shell forms, and the way urns and frames are balanced on a page.
