Two Furniture Leg Designs
Two furniture leg designs, arranged horizontally on the page.
The left leg features a top block with a carved rosette within a square inset, a deep cove, and a shoulder with a wave pattern. The shaft is fluted, with cabled darts halfway down. The furniture leg at right has a top block with a carved rosette set within a square inset, a cove of acanthus leaves, gadrooning at the shoulders, and fluting down the shaft. The plate is signed, and possibly was numbered; the print was trimmed at some point. In comparison with other versions, it should be numbered C5.
