Items related to The Grammar of Ornament
This classic book is considered the definitive guide to ornamental design. Containing over 2,000 original engravings complete with informative and insightful descriptions, this wonderful book is a must-have for enthusiasts of ethnographic art, and constitutes an invaluable tool for those working in jewellery, fashion, interior design, or textiles. Providing insights into the history and modern popularity of these ethnographic patterns, this book is informative and beautiful in equal measures, making it a great addition to collections of allied literature. Owen Jones (1809 - 1874) was an English-born Welsh architect who is considered to be one of the most influential design theorists of the nineteenth century. Originally published in 1856, this book has been chosen for republication due to its cultural and educational value. Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly hard to come by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

Review:
'Beautiful and informative and truly global in outlook, this is a fascinating collection of diverse designs from around the world' --The Designer Magazine (July 2008)
'For 100 years this would still be one of the few unpotronising references to what was called until very recently ethnographic, or more dismissively, primitive art. That alone makes this amazing book one (remembering Alkan's misadventure) to die for.' --The Royal Academy Magazine

Owen Jones was a Victorian architect and designer who was very involved in The Great Exhibition of 1851 and the Crystal Palace as well as being very much a leading light in the design and art world of the time.
