This design sheet by Gabriel Huquier, dating from 1738-1749, showcases various decorative motifs for snuffboxes and walking stick knobs. The intricate engravings feature elegant Rococo-style ornamentation, including swirling scrolls, delicate foliage, and playful cherubs. These designs, intended for luxurious objects, highlight the ornate aesthetic favored by the French aristocracy during this period. The sheet's title, "Differents desseins de Tabatières et pomme de Canne," underscores its purpose as a source of inspiration for craftsmen and artisans.
