Original Description
Owen Jones' Nineveh and Persia No 2 is a breathtaking exploration of ornamental design, where intricate patterns and vivid colors transport viewers to the grandeur of ancient Mesopotamian and Persian aesthetics. Created in the mid-19th century, this work reflects Jones' fascination with Islamic and Middle Eastern motifs, drawn from his meticulous studies documented in The Grammar of Ornament (1856), a seminal book that revolutionized Western decorative arts. The composition features geometric precision interlaced with flowing arabesques, harmonizing bold reds, deep blues, and gold accents—a hallmark of Jones' synthesis of historical accuracy and Victorian exuberance. As a pioneering figure in design theory, Jones bridged the gap between archaeology and modern ornamentation, making this piece a vital artifact in the history of decorative arts, influencing movements like the Aesthetic Movement and Arts and Crafts.
For interiors seeking sophistication, Nineveh and Persia No 2 makes a striking statement in spaces designed with cohesion in mind. Its rich hues pair well with warm neutrals—think terracotta walls or walnut furnishings—to let the artwork shine without overwhelming the room. Ideal for a study, library, or formal dining area, the piece demands a spacious wall (a medium or large-scale reproduction suits areas above consoles or fireplaces). Complement its ornate detailing with minimalist furniture or metallic accents in brass or copper, echoing its gilded motifs. Layered textiles—such as Persian rugs or velvet drapes—enhance the opulence while maintaining balance. For offices, it injects depth into corporate settings, fostering creativity with its historical resonance and artistic rigor.
