A writing desk is flanked by candelabra and topped with a fantastical clock. They are embellished with twisting Rococo-style tendrils echoed in decorative paneling above. This meticulously drafted design is divided by a vertical line, presenting different ornamental solutions on each side. Drawn in preparation for an etching, it was published in a series created to inspire architects, cabinetmakers, goldsmiths, and designers of all kinds.
