This cartouche may represent a tapestry frame, as such a thing by Gravelot is mentioned in the description. At any rate it was used to frame the title of a section, Exposition de tabloeaux anciens de décoration et d’ornament, which is, Exhibition of antique decorative and ornamental paintings.

A Victorian engraved full-page border drawn to look like twigs. This originally contained portraits of King Henry VIII of England and his six (sequential) wives - https://fromoldbooks.org/r/5/pages/438-King-Henry-VIII-and-His-Six-Wives/

Henry had to have a legitimate heir in order to prevent another War of the Roses.

Borders like this are great for menus, weddings, name cards, jam labels, all sorts.

Perfect for a Valetine’s Day card? A full-page border in black and white, with flowers, ivy, a bird... originally surrounding a table of contents for an 1880s book in German.
