A Monumental Work of Art The Studio library of decorative art
Hardcover, 380 pages

Published March 5, 1989 by Pub Marketing Service.
This highly influential book, long a classic in its field, includes all 100 original color plates from a rare Victorian edition. Among the nearly 3,000 royalty-free designs are exquisite Greek and Roman borders and mosaics, Celtic designs taken from manuscripts, motifs from medieval paintings and stained glass, and floral patterns from Chinese porcelain.
Expect some nomenclature of the era, but the ornament itself is lovely.
