Gothic furniture : consisting of twenty-seven coloured engravings
Gothic furniture is a 1828 London collection of twenty-seven coloured engravings published by R. Ackermann, drawn by Augustus Pugin (1762-1832) for designers and cabinetmakers interested in the Gothic revival. The plates show rotated architectural drawings of Gothic-style interiors and furniture, with pointed arches, tracery panels, and carved canopied elements rendered in fine pencil-like line work. A designer could borrow the lancet and quatrefoil tracery, the canopy forms, and the panelled bench and cabinet structures as a source for historicist ornament.
