Original Description
Owen Jones' Moresque No 2 is a mesmerizing exploration of intricate geometric harmony, embodying the exotic elegance of Moorish design that captivated Victorian England. Created in the mid-19th century, this ornamental masterpiece reflects Jones' profound study of Islamic art during his travels to Spain and the Alhambra Palace, where he meticulously documented its interlacing patterns and luminous color schemes. Executed with rhythmic precision, Moresque No 2 dazzles with symmetrical arabesques, tessellated motifs, and a rich palette of blues, reds, and gold—hallmarks of Jones’ commitment to "grammar of ornament." As a pivotal plate in his 1856 treatise The Grammar of Ornament, this work became a cornerstone of design reform, bridging Eastern traditions with Western industrial aesthetics. It remains a celebrated artifact of the Aesthetic Movement, influencing everything from Victorian textiles to contemporary architecture.
For interiors seeking refined sophistication, Moresque No 2 shines as a statement piece. Ideal for a study, lounge, or boutique office, it complements spaces with minimalist modern furniture or eclectic global influences. Frame it in a dark wood or gilt finish to accentuate its historic gravitas, and hang it against muted walls (navy, sage, or warm taupe) to let its patterns command attention. The artwork’s vibrant hues pair elegantly with jewel-toned furnishings—deep emerald velvets or brass accents—while its medium size suits focal areas like above a console or behind a desk. For cohesion, repeat its intricate motifs in cushions or rugs. Choosing a high-quality reproduction preserves detail; opt for dimensions that balance wall space without overwhelming—a 24"x36" print ensures visibility without dominating. Ultimately, Moresque No 2 transforms rooms into cultured sanctuaries, marrying history with timeless style.
