Note: A pattern book is a collection of designs brought together for use as a model or source by artists or craftsmen. This pattern book is anonymous and dates from about 1800. Subject Depicted: This pattern-book page shows a selection of designs for metal handles for commodes (a commode is a piece of furniture which contains drawers or shelves). They are for handles made from stamped brass. To make stamped brass articles, thin sheets of brass were laid on a shaped block, known as a 'die', and hammered on the reverse, so that the design on the die becomes impressed in the brass. Decorative brass fittings for furniture, such as handles like these, were among the staple products of the Birmingham and London brass founders during the 18th and 19th centuries. People portrayed: Tadeusz Kosciuszko (1746-1817) played a significant role in the rebellions of two separate nations. During the American War of Independence of 1776-1783, Kosciuszko served with the colonists as both an engineer and a field commander, eventually at the rank of Brigadier-General. He also led the Polish-Lithuanian uprising of 1794, winning several key conflicts before his troops were defeated by vastly superior forces: the combined might of Prussia, Russia and Austria.The inclusion of this figure in the pattern book indicates that this English merchandise was aimed at the export market. | |
