A 1796 Leipzig decorative-arts treatise by Joseph Friedrich von Racknitz, with plates by Christian Schuricht, Philipp Veith and Johann Adolph Darnstedt, surveying interior decoration and architecture across many peoples' styles for designers and architects. The plates show furniture, such as a Gothic-style table with a canopy, a chair and a stand with twisted columns, alongside painted wall elevations with niches, classical columns, figural panels and garden views framed by arches, offering ready models of historical ornament for interior schemes.
