''The Grammar of Ornament'' is a seminal work by the British architect and design theorist Owen Jones, first published in 1856. It is a comprehensive design treatise that presents Jones's theories on design principles and his philosophy on the use of ornament in the decorative arts. The book is renowned for its lavish chromolithographic illustrations, which include examples of historical and international design motifs. Jones compiled the work from his studies and observations of decorative arts on his extensive travels, as well as from the artifacts exhibited at the Great Exhibition of 1851.

In ''The Grammar of Ornament'', Jones outlines 37 key principles of design and ornamentation, which he believed should govern the creation of patterns and decorative forms. These principles were intended to be universally applicable, transcending cultural and historical boundaries. The book is organized into sections that focus on different cultures and historical periods, such as Ancient Egyptian, Greek, Roman, and Renaissance design, among others. Each section provides a detailed analysis of the characteristic ornamentation of the period or culture, accompanied by vivid illustrations.

Jones's work was influential in the development of the Arts and Crafts Movement and the Art Nouveau style, as it advocated for the return to craftsmanship and the importance of design in everyday objects. ''The Grammar of Ornament'' continues to be a valuable resource for artists, designers, and historians, offering insights into the principles of design that can still be applied in contemporary practice. Its impact on the fields of design theory and the decorative arts has made it a classic reference work, and it remains in print to this day, reflecting its enduring relevance and appeal.
