Ontwerpen voor horlogekasten after 1703

This anonymous design sheet from the early 18th century, titled "Ontwerpen voor horlogekasten" (Designs for Watch Cases), showcases intricate patterns for embellishing watch cases. The design features a variety of circular and oval frames, each filled with elaborate floral motifs and swirling tendrils. The central oval design, the largest and most intricate, is surrounded by eight smaller circular designs, all of which incorporate delicate details like leaves, scrolls, and stylized figures. These designs, intended for watch case decoration, provide a glimpse into the highly skilled craftsmanship and aesthetic preferences of the period.
