First published in 1856, The Grammar of Ornament is Owen Jones’s landmark exploration of decorative art across cultures, civilizations, and historical periods. This influential visual sourcebook examines the principles behind ornament while presenting remarkable examples from Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Arabian, Turkish, Persian, Indian, Chinese, Celtic, Medieval, Renaissance, Elizabethan, and other artistic traditions.

Jones believed that ornament should be guided by structure, proportion, geometry, nature, and thoughtful use of form. His systematic approach influenced generations of architects, artists, designers, craftspeople, and students of the decorative arts.

This restored edition preserves the character of the original work while presenting its text and 100 plates in a clear black-and-white format. The added foreword and editorial notes provide useful historical and design context without replacing or rewriting Jones’s original text.

• Artists and illustrators
• Graphic, textile, and pattern designers
• Architects and interior designers
• Art and design students
• Craftspeople and decorative arts enthusiasts
• Readers interested in global ornament and visual culture

More than a historical collection, The Grammar of Ornament remains a rich source of ideas for contemporary design, illustration, architecture, typography, textiles, surface pattern, and creative research.
