Metal ornaments, France and Germany, 19th century, (1898). Empire style fittings: Figs 1-23: Metal-Ornaments of furniture in the King's Palace [New Palace?] at Stuttgart and from the public collection of Wurttemburg antiquities in that place....The Napoleonic wars had considerable influence on the Empire-Style, in which afterwards were to be found emblems of Victory, eagles, laurel-wreaths and such like. In consequence of the Egyptian campaign new decorative elements were adopted, as for instance the capitals of Lotus-flowers, Sphinxes, winged lions and other Egyptian figures, joined sometimes to Chinese designs'. Plate 89 from "The Historic Styles of Ornament" translated from the German of H. Dolmetsch. [B.T. Batford, London, 1898]
