In 1923 the Syracuse Ornamental Company in New York State advertised its fiber wood carvings, moldings and furniture trimmings to the trade in an elegantly illustrated sales catalog. The Catalog contained thousands of beautiful line drawings of delicately carved floral wreaths and sprays for furniture panels,as well as finely worked trophees, bases, posts, corners and legs.

Now hundreds of these attractive and skillfully drawn illustrations have been reproduced here in sharp black and white available copyright-free to artists, illustrators and craftspeople. Comprising 124 of the very best plates from the now rare original catalog, the present collection consists of an elaborate selection of styles ranging from Louis XIV, Renaissance and Georgian to Louis XVI, Chippendale and chinoiserie. Included are intiricately rendered borders, scrolls, cartouches and latticework; lavish floral garlands, moldings and many other ornamentals important graphics in any commercial artist’s resource file.

Artists, designers, woodworkers and other craftspeople will find here a rich variety of much-needed borders, garlands, cartouches and other motifs – all ideals for immediate , practical use
