Color PaletteThese two prints are exemplary of the rococo furniture designs printed in Augsburg in the middle of the 18th century. The chairs and tables include characteristic fluid lines, organic motifs, scroll shapes, and asymmetrical forms. Their extravagance was not limited to the carving; furniture made to these designs was almost certainly intended to be gilded (or at least painted for less wealthy clients). Habermann's chairs and tables were published by Johann Georg Hertel as part of a large collection of his rococo designs, including furniture, coaches, chapels, ironwork, mirror frames, and individual ornamental details.
