An Italian survey of the decorative arts and industrial design by Alfredo Melani, published by Vallardi in Milan in 1907 for craftsmen, manufacturers, and design students, covering woodwork, metalwork, stone, ceramics, glass, ivory, textiles, wallpaper, embroidery, lace, posters, and prints. The 448 line engravings isolate single objects against blank grounds, with fine hatching that models carved scrollwork, candelabra, table legs, and architectural tabernacles, giving designers clean cut-out ornament silhouettes and repeatable acanthus, rosette, and cartouche motifs.
