"Celtic Ornament Chapter XV" is a section within the influential design book "The Grammar of Ornament" by the Victorian-era architect and designer Owen Jones, first published in 1856. This seminal work is a comprehensive design treatise that sought to systematize the principles of good design and to educate designers, craftsmen, and the general public about the aesthetics of ornamentation from different cultures and historical periods.

Chapter XV of "The Grammar of Ornament" specifically focuses on Celtic ornamentation, which is characterized by its intricate interlacing patterns, complex knotwork, spirals, and key patterns. These designs are typically associated with the art of the early medieval Celtic peoples of the British Isles and Ireland. In this chapter, Jones explores the geometric and symbolic significance of Celtic patterns, emphasizing their beauty and the skill required to create them.

Jones's work was groundbreaking in its approach to categorizing and analyzing the decorative arts. "The Grammar of Ornament" was lavishly illustrated with chromolithographic prints, which were based on Jones's own drawings and those of his students. The book's influence extended well beyond its time, affecting the Arts and Crafts Movement and later the Art Nouveau style. "Celtic Ornament Chapter XV" contributed to a revival of interest in Celtic design during the 19th century, which was part of a broader fascination with the medieval past and the cultural heritage of the British Isles.

The chapter not only provided a visual compendium of Celtic patterns but also offered insights into the methods and principles that underpinned their creation. Jones's meticulous documentation and presentation of Celtic ornamentation helped preserve this aspect of cultural heritage and inspired subsequent generations of artists and designers to incorporate these motifs into their own work.
