Kirchenschmuck: Sammlung von Vorlagen für kirchliche Stickereien, Holz- & Metallarbeiten & Glasmalereien
Kirchenschmuck is a German pattern book of church decoration models, edited by Georg Dengler and published in 1859 for church embroiderers, woodworkers, metalworkers and glass painters. The plates show ornamental designs that a designer could adapt for sacred or period decorative work. Its pictures are engraved and drawn ornament: scrolling acanthus leaves, a diamond lattice panel with rosettes, a flowering vine on a yellow ground, and a saint in a pointed oval framed by triangular interlace, with the vine and foliage showing how such motifs were laid out for reuse.
