This image is an illustration plate, labeled "PL. VI." from a book or a collection, showcasing a variety of ornate design objects. It appears to be from a catalog or instructional guide on silversmithing or metalworking, given the label "Orfèvre Grossier, ouvrages." which roughly translates to "Silversmith's rough works." Each figure (design) is numbered and includes intricate details, suggesting they are for educational or professional reference. The objects include:
- Fig. 1: An elaborate, possibly baroque, candlestick or torchère, with acanthus leaf designs and a sculptural human figure at the base.
- Fig. 2: A similarly designed object with a vegetal motif topped with a flame-like structure, also adorned with a human figure.
- Fig. 3: A large ewer or pitcher, ornate with curves and fluting, featuring organic shapes and a large, scrolled handle.
- Fig. 4: A small pot or teapot showcasing fluid, natural patterns, and a curving spout.
- Fig. 5: An extravagant centerpiece or tureen with a reclining human figure (possibly a cherub or nymph) as part of the design, surrounded by flowing decorative elements.
- Fig. 6: A decorative vase or urn with floral rather than figurative embellishments.
- Fig. 7: A tall, slim object, perhaps a candlestick or part of a flagon, with a flared base and decorative top.
- Fig. 8: Another fluid and ornate pot or pitcher, with a large handle and asymmetrical design.
Each object is marked with letters (A, B, C, D, E) to point out specific parts or design elements, likely to provide a detailed discussion or explanation in an accompanying text. The illustration style and the items suggest a focus on Rococo or Baroque styles, which are known for ornate, complex, and often asymmetrical designs that incorporate natural forms. The image itself appears to be a well-preserved historical document with a slight wear on the edges, representative of traditional printmaking techniques.
