A cartouche (also cartouch) is an oval or oblong design with a slightly convex surface, typically edged with ornamental scrollwork. It is used to hold a painted or low relief design. In Early Modern design, since the early 16th century, the cartouche is a scrolling frame device, derived originally from Italian . Such cartouches are characteristically stretched, pierced and scrolling (''illustration, left''). Another cartouche figures prominently in the title page of Giorgio Vasari's ''Lives,'' framing a minor vignette with a device of pierced and scrolling papery (see illustration). The engraved trade card of the London clockmaker Percy Webster (''illustration, right'') shows a ''vignette'' of the shop in a scrolling cartouche frame of Rococo design that is composed entirely of scrolling devices.
