About the Item

Ornamental Baroque Weaving and Embroidery Sample Print by H. Dolmetsch, 1890s This richly decorative antique print originates from the celebrated series *Ornamentenschatz*, compiled and illustrated by the influential German designer and art historian Heinrich Dolmetsch in the late 19th century. This particular plate is dedicated to showcasing elaborate examples of baroque weaving, trimming, and embroidery from the 17th and 18th centuries, focusing on textile patterns used for fashion, upholstery, and interior decoration. Heinrich Dolmetsch (1846–1908) was a key figure in the revival and documentation of historical ornamentation in the applied arts. As a professor at the Royal School of Applied Arts in Stuttgart, he undertook the ambitious task of cataloging decorative styles from different epochs and cultures. The *Ornamentenschatz* (Treasure of Ornament) was published by Julius Hoffmann in Stuttgart and comprises dozens of finely chromolithographed plates that visually preserved classical and renaissance design traditions for use in contemporary artistic and industrial applications. This particular plate vividly presents nine different textile samples rendered with chromatic brilliance and impressive fidelity. At the top, an intricate woven galloon or border design in rich jewel tones exemplifies baroque opulence with its rhythmic floral scrolls and symmetrical composition. Beneath it, six panels illustrate embroidered and woven fabrics, each showcasing stylized florals and dynamic compositions characteristic of 17th- and 18th-century European tastes. The diversity in textures and colors is both educational and inspirational, reflecting Dolmetsch’s mission to bridge historical design with modern production. This print is ideal for collectors of antique textiles, decorative arts, or historical fashion, and it also serves as a compelling source of inspiration for contemporary designers and interior decorators looking to evoke classic European elegance. Condition Summary: The print is in good condition considering its age. The colors remain vibrant with only mild age-related toning at the edges. There are no tears, holes, or repairs. The paper retains a firm texture and has been well preserved. Framing Tips: This piece would look especially refined with a generous off-white or cream mat to highlight its ornate detailing, paired with a gold, walnut, or ebonized wood frame to complement the rich palette. Anti-reflective museum glass is recommended to preserve the clarity of the chromolithograph and protect the colors from UV fading. This print can be displayed as a striking standalone artwork or as part of a curated salon wall with other historical design prints.
