Muster zu Zimmer-Verzierungen und Ameublements [Volume 1]

1794 · Leipzig : bey Voss und Compagnie · 9 pictures

This 1794 German pattern book, published in Leipzig by Voss und Compagnie, presents design models for room decoration and furnishings, aimed at interior decorators and cabinetmakers working in the neoclassical taste. Its pictures show painted wall panels with garlands, urns, and pilasters in pale grounds with coloured borders, plus a richly upholstered chair in dark fabric with brass-tipped legs; a designer could draw on their restrained classical ornament and tidy symmetrical layouts.
