label: Description
content: Chimneypiece design with over mantle mirror. Each side of the mirror features an engaged two-arm candelabra emerging from a grotesque head; at the top of the mirror is rich carving with a mascaron in the center of a cartouche, around with is ornamentation of fluted scrolls and garlands of flowers. "A Tapisserie" printed in the plate at the lower left indicates that the side panels, depicting landscapes with ornamental borders, are tapestries. At the bottom of the plate is a cross section of the "Plan de la tablette" and the "Plan du Chambranle" as well as a scale bar of five French feet ("5 pieds"). The plate has very faint numbering, but no signature.
