Abbildung und Beschreibung der modernsten Formen für Kunstler und Handwerker : namentlich für Gold- und Silberarbeiter, Drechsler, Tischler, Gürtler, Holtzformer, Tapezier ... u.s.w.
A German pattern book of 1831 by Karl Ludwig Matthaey, published in Ilmenau by Bernard Friedrich Voigt, offering modern design forms to artisans and craftsmen such as goldsmiths, turners, joiners and upholsterers. The plates show numbered engraved drawings of furniture, turned bowls and vessels, candlesticks, moulding profiles and horn or wood-turned objects. A designer can take from them the neoclassical vocabulary of lyre backs, acanthus scrolls, swags, fluted urns and stepped mouldings, drawn plainly enough to adapt directly.
