The Grammar of Ornament  - Owen  Jones - The Design Sale
  Quick Zoom | Large
Owen Jones (1809 - 1874)

The Grammar of Ornament

London: Bernard Quaritch, 1910

[4], 157 pp (text), 112 chromolithographed plates including the title page and numerous black and white illustrations; original gilt-stamped burgundy cloth, with gilt lettering on spine and front cover, beveled edges, all edges gilt.
13.6 x 9.8 x 2.2 in (34 x 24.5 x 5.5 cm)

Owen Jones’ Grammar of Ornament was first published in 1856 in the form of a lavish folio that highlighted stunning patterns, motifs, and ornaments across 112 illustrated plates. Considered to be a design masterpiece, the book was a monumental publishing project that managed to achieve unseen standards in colour printing. Each illustration in the folio explored the design principles behind the architecture, textiles, manuscripts, and decorative arts present across 19 cultural periods, with the final chapter paying tribute to the beauty of the natural world. The book continues to remain in print even 150 years later – a true testament to its enduring appeal when it comes to design.

Authored by Jones, whose studies on colour theory, geometry and form remain an inspiration for designers till date, this book was his way of convincing the designers and tastemakers of the Victorian era of the need to look towards history to form the foundation for good, modern design. The purpose of Grammar of Ornament, thus, was to aid young and upcoming designers to use the underlying principles of the older decorative arts as inspiration in their own work.
