An incredible trade catalogue for highly ornate Second Empire designs for door and window hardware: from the library of the proprietor of the firm. The first part mostly encompasses designs for door hardware, including locks, knobs, bolts, mail slots, pilasters, etc.; the second part is largely designs for foliage and rosettes. The present designs are unusually elaborate, and rich interpretations of rococo, Louis XVI and other styles, and is a testament to the expertise of the Garnier firm which is still in business today. This example with provenance to Louis-Remi Garnier, was bound for him (see Lugt p. 414 for his collector's mark which is stamped onto the binding) and sold at the 1912 sale of his library (lot 505). #28184 -- description by Donald Heald.
