Original French ornamental engraving sheet depicting carved Rococo furniture and decorative cartouche elements, including console-table supports, scroll brackets, floral swags, mascaron faces, and foliate ornamentation arranged as design studies.
The sheet is printed within a ruled plate border and labeled “Pl. I” in the upper right corner, indicating it is the first plate from a decorative ornament series.
Inscriptions visible in the plate include:
“M. Lock inv. (1740.)” — referencing the original design source
“M. Riester sculp.” — engraver credit
“Publié par BLANDIN, rue Ménilmontant, 94 à Paris.” — publisher imprint
The engraving is printed on wove paper and mounted to a larger support sheet, likely done in the late 19th or early 20th century for presentation or portfolio storage.
The composition shows Rococo console-table design elements, probably intended as reference material for cabinetmakers, woodcarvers, and furniture designers.

The inscription “M. Lock inv. (1740)” likely refers to a Rococo ornamental designer from the mid-18th century whose work was reproduced during the 19th-century revival of Louis XV decorative arts.
During the 19th century, French publishers frequently issued engraved reproductions of historic ornament designs for use by: ébénistes (cabinetmakers), sculptors, decorative architects, furniture workshops, art schools.
The publisher Blandin, rue Ménilmontant (Paris) appears to have specialized in decorative design prints and educational ornament plates.
The engraver M. Riester translated earlier Rococo carving designs into engraved format for reproduction.
These sheets functioned as pattern-book plates for Rococo revival furniture production, especially console tables, mirrors, and architectural ornament.
