Examples of Chinese ornament : selected from objects in the South Kensington Museum and other collections
Examples of Chinese ornament, compiled by the architect and designer Owen Jones and published in London in 1867, drawn from objects in the South Kensington Museum and other collections for students and designers. The plates show flat repeating patterns of scrolling vines, lotus-like flowers, fret and key borders, and stylised faces in rich colour, giving a designer ready-made border strips, medallion layouts and all-over repeats to adapt.
