We should be infinitely obliged to (metalsmiths) if they would be good enough not to alter the intention of things and to remember for instance that a candlestick out to be straight and perpendicular in order to support its light, not twisted as if someone had forced it out of shape; that its pan ought to be concave so as to hold the wax than runs down and not convex so as to let it drop in a sheet on the candlestick, besides a quantity of other charming devices no less unreasonable which it would take too long to mention.

Nothing is monstrous, as Horace observes, than to couple together beings of different nature; and yet ‘tis what many of our artists at this time glory in doing. A cupid is the contrast of a dragon; and a shell of a bat’s wing; they no longer observe any order. . . they heap cornices, bases, columns, cascades, rushes and rocks in a confused manor, one upon the other; and in some corner of this chaos, they will place a cupid in a great fright, and have a festoon of flowers above the whole.
Abbé le Blanc

. . . Be pleased not to make a scythe smaller than an hour-glass, a hat ot tambourine larger than a bass viol, a man’s head smaller than a rose, a bill hook as large as a rake, etc. It is with much regret that we find ourselves obliged to beg them (artisans) to confine their genius within these laws of proportion.

Rococo cartel clockattributed to Jacques CaffieriFrancec.1750
What do the pendulum clocks, so much in fashion, resemble; which have neither basis not console, but seem to spring out of the wainscot . . . those stags, dogs, huntsmen, or Chinese figures, which they dispose in so odd a manner about the dial-plate; are they its natural ornament?

. . . We furnish them with fine straight wood and that they ruin us with expense by working it into all these sinuous forms, that in bending our doors in order to subject them to circularities which it pleases the good taste of our modern architects to give to all our rooms, they make us spend much more than if they were to make them straight, and that we find no advantage in them since we pass just as well through a straight door as through a rounded door.
