"Dolmetsch's Treasury of Ornament is one of the great nineteenth century studies in pattern and design. Each of the plates is accompanied by a detailed text, and the volume is encyclopaedic in its scope, giving a chronological, analytical and comprehensive view of developments in ornamentation from Ancient Egyptain and Grecian Art to seventeenth and eighteenth century Baroque and rococo motifs." --Dust jacket.

The art of the Eastern Roman Empire and of its capital, Byzantium (Constantinople), found expression throughout the ancient world, particularly in Italian architecture. This superb archive of Byzantine ornament contains a wealth of decorative architectural elements derived from sixth- and seventh-century Italian buildings in Ravenna and in the Venetian church of St. Mark's. Depicted in more than 250 delicate line drawings are splendid perforated marble panels, intricately fashioned stone grilles and cornices, lavish candle brackets, elaborate stone mosaics for floors and ceilings, bronze window guards, as well as an abundance of decorative wreaths, rosettes, mouldings, and medallions. A multipurpose reference for students, artists, and designers, this archive of sumptuous, royalty-free designs will also serve as a rich source of inspiration for anyone working in the fine or applied arts.
This gallery of stunning architectural accents from Italy's Middle Ages has been assembled from a rare early-20th-century publication. Grotesques from carved panels of choir stalls, tombstone and ceiling ornaments, pierced stone balcony panels, and more, are reproduced in 60 richly detailed illustrations. A modestly priced treasury of authentic Renaissance style.
Over 350 handsome designs — selected from such rare Victorian-era magazines as The Art Journal, and The British Printer — depict lovely floral and foliated motifs as decorative embellishments on a saucer and teacup, on picture frames and wall sconces, as flowing patterns that lend themselves well for use as frames and borders.
Reproduced from a rare turn-of-the-century German catalog, these 2,600 eye-catching typographic ornaments and designs comprise a rich treasury of ornate frames, headpieces, tailpieces, title pages, spot art, scrollwork, and other ornamental motifs. The broad array of subjects, sizes, and styles represented will be invaluable to illustrators and commercial artists in search of permission-free graphics to enhance books, magazines, newsletters, menus, posters, catalog copy, advertisements, and a host of other print projects. Included are bold black-and-white designs recalling the free-form style of Jugendstil (the German term for Art Nouveau), along with a wealth of detailed, evocative images of couples dancing, landscapes, bridges, railway tunnels, locomotives, sailing ships, rowing regattas, Poseidon and other Greek gods, showgirls, dandies, castles, fairies and elves, cherubs playing musical instruments, animals, floral borders, and much more. This collection of vintage designs is not only a rich source of immediately usable art, but also an entertaining volume to browse through—a fount of inspiration and delight for artists and lovers of antique illustrations.
