Suggestion for the Decoration of the Lower and Top Right of a Frame Combined with Several Additional Ornaments, Plate 2 from: 'Unterschidliche Auszierungen zu Thüren und Fenster, etc. etc. sehr nutzlich zu gebrauchen' 1745 - 1755

Jeremias Wachsmuth's 'Suggestion for the Decoration of the Lower and Top Right of a Frame Combined with Several Additional Ornaments' is a plate from a larger work of design patterns for decorative arts. This 18th century engraving, part of the Rococo movement, shows a variety of intricate, flowing motifs, including scrolls, floral elements, and a decorative urn, to be used as inspiration for embellishing architectural features like doors, windows, and furniture. The image exemplifies the Rococo style's embrace of asymmetry and elaborate ornamentation.
