Neues Zieratenbuch is a 1650 pattern book of ornament published in Nuremberg by Paulus Fürst and made by Friedrich Unteutsch for cabinetmakers, joiners and carvers. Its plates show engraved Baroque scrollwork, masks, cartouches and framed panels arranged as models to copy. A designer could take from them the dense C-scroll and acanthus vocabulary, the mascaron faces and the symmetrical framing devices used in carved furniture and architectural decoration.
