About this work
This volume contains 22 etchings after drawings by the Roman designer Filippo Passarini. They are exuberant models for a wide range of furniture: from pulpits, organ cases and coffins to canopy beds. One page features four children's beds, such as the upper one with paddle wheels and pulled by seahorses. This is not about usable furniture, but rather displaying Baroque ingenuity.
