Gothic ornaments of the 15th & 16th centuries
A Gothic ornament pattern book by Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin, published in Edinburgh in 1860, drawn for architects, furniture makers and church metalworkers. Its plates are line engravings of Late Gothic metalwork, woodcarving and church plate, with chandeliers, hanging lamps, hinged strap fittings, and interior panelling and stair details. A designer could take from them the lattice tracery, crocketed finials, foliage scrolls and shield-and-knot motifs of fifteenth-century Gothic ornament.
