"The Table of Contents will show how Meyer has arranged the work into various divisions and sub-sections, analysing the elements of decoration into geometrical, plant, animal and human form etc, the various types of borders, panels, bands, pillars derived from these, and the applications of such, ornament to every manner of decorative object. Beautifully-drawn illustrations depicting everything from the basic elemental patterns which form the invisible skeletons of much ornamental design to hundreds of individual decorative features. Furniture, jewelry, architectural features, chandeliers and lampstands and domestic ware as bowls, cutlery, mirrors and door-knockers. There is a section on the application of ornamental ideas to calligraphy and the art of printed lettering, and one on heraldry."--BOOK JACKET.

The decorative arts of the Middle Ages — richly ornate, filled with religious and mythic symbolism — were especially remarkable for the complexities of their design and their inspired craftsmanship. This fascinating volume presents nearly 1,000 illustrations of medieval ornament, consisting mostly of architectural elements from German Romanesque and Gothic churches and other buildings. Originally compiled by the German architect, painter, and engraver Karl Alexander von Heldeloff (1788–1865) as a source of study and inspiration for practicing artists and architects, this grand pictorial archive has been exactingly reproduced from a rare original edition, complete with new English translations of the German captions. The book is filled with precisely detailed engravings of doors, windows, decorative stonework, columns, pedestals, and more. It remains a richly varied resource of authentic images of medieval ornament, ideal for students of architecture and the decorative arts and essential for graphic artists and designers in search of royalty-free illustrations.
