[Oeuvre De Mes: De Guvillie]: [Tome ?]

Cuvilliés, François de [Ill.], Cuvilliés, François de [Ill.] · 1772 · 125 pictures

An 1772 volume of engraved plates by François de Cuvilliés, held by Heidelberg University Library, presenting decorative designs for architecture and interiors. The plates show formal altar and church elevations, ornamental garden parterres, and rococo panels with scrolling cartouches and foliage, intended for craftsmen and designers of the period. A designer might draw on the balanced symmetry of the panels and the dense, scrolling rococo ornament for pattern and decorative framing.
