Ornamental designs with scrolling motifs

Page of book containing 185 leaves with a collection of lithographs, aquatints, engravings, and other media, with ornamental designs published by Fleury Chavant in Paris, part of the publication "Guide du Dessinateur de l'industrie: une macédoine de dessins variés , tels que fleurs, ornemens, etc. ... Ouvrage destiné aux fabricants et dessinateurs de soieries... et Papiers Peints..." This plate contains ornamental designs with scrolling motifs. The first design, likely for a border, on the upper part of the sheet, is made up of a large, horizontal garland of scrolling leaves with palmettes, and a smaller garland with scrolling acanthus leaves, separated by a horizontal, clear stripe. Another design for a border, or possibly for a ribbon, placed on the lower part of the sheet, contains a rich garland of interlacing acanthus leaves. In-between these two designs is a lozenge made up of interlacing acanthus leaves, and a large pearl in the center. Around it are four smaller motifs: one with two branches, which interlace each other forming C- and S-curves that frame small, stylized tre-foil leaves; another is made up of a scrolling branch with leaves on the scrolling end; and the other two are slightly C-curved, and contain lozenge-shaped leaves with small, round fruits. The designs are executed with black ink on thin, light brown paper.
