Drie cartouches en een decoratie 1704 - 1737

This anonymous design from 1704-1737, "Drie cartouches en een decoratie," showcases four ornamental cartouches for use in decorative arts. The engraved print displays four different designs, two complete and two incomplete. Each is framed by elaborate scrolls and foliage with one incorporating a chain and the others featuring a central oval or rectangular space for inscription. This design print would have been used by craftspeople and designers to inspire their work during the Baroque period, particularly in creating decorative elements for furniture, architecture, and other objects.
