Aesthetik des Kunstgewerbes: ein Handbuch für Haus, Schule und Werkstätte
Aesthetik des Kunstgewerbes is a German handbook on applied arts by Jakob Falke, published in 1883 for the home, school and workshop, held by Heidelberg University Library. Its wood-engraved plates show decorative objects: two ornamented urns or amphorae with figures and vine scrolls, a carved Renaissance-style cabinet with relief panels, and a pitcher with a scrolled handle. A designer could draw on the historicist ornament here, including acanthus and vine scrolls, putti friezes, and architectural framing of relief panels.
