"Moresque Ornament from Chapter X by Owen Jones" refers to a section of the influential design manual "The Grammar of Ornament" by the Victorian architect and designer Owen Jones, first published in 1856. This seminal work is a comprehensive design treatise that sought to systematize and present the principles of good design and ornamentation. Chapter X of the book specifically deals with Moresque ornament, which is the European term for the Islamic decorative arts of the Moors, particularly those that developed in North Africa and the Iberian Peninsula.

In this chapter, Jones explores the intricate geometric patterns, interlacing forms, and rich decorative motifs that characterize Moresque design. He provides a detailed analysis of the principles underlying the ornamentation, such as the avoidance of depicting living forms, the use of symmetry and repetition, and the emphasis on surface decoration. The chapter is richly illustrated with color plates that demonstrate the complexity and beauty of Moresque patterns, which were influential in the development of the Western decorative arts, particularly during the Victorian era.

Jones's work was instrumental in popularizing these designs and informing the practice of architects, designers, and craftsmen in the 19th century. "The Grammar of Ornament" as a whole, and Chapter X in particular, played a key role in the Aesthetic Movement and the Arts and Crafts Movement, which advocated for the importance of design and craftsmanship in the face of industrial mass production. The book remains an important historical document and continues to be a reference for students of design, art history, and the decorative arts.
