''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 of ornamentation in architecture and the decorative arts. The book is renowned for its lavish chromolithographic illustrations, which are a significant feature of the work, showcasing various historical and cultural design motifs from around the world.

Jones's ''The Grammar of Ornament'' was influenced by his travels and studies of ornament in different cultures, particularly during his time in the Middle East and the subsequent decoration of the Crystal Palace for the Great Exhibition of 1851. The book is structured into 20 chapters, each focusing on a different set of design principles and ornamentation from various cultures, including Ancient Egyptian, Greek, Roman, and Renaissance, as well as Islamic and East Asian art.

One of the key contributions of the book is Jones's proposition of general principles for the use of ornament, which he believed should enhance the design and structure of objects rather than merely covering them with superfluous decoration. His 37 propositions at the beginning of the book outline these principles, emphasizing the importance of geometry, the inspiration from nature, and the appropriate use of color.

''The Grammar of Ornament'' was not only a pivotal resource for Victorian designers but also continues to be an influential reference for contemporary artists, designers, and architects. Its impact on the development of the Arts and Crafts Movement and the later Art Nouveau style is well recognized. The book's emphasis on the universality of certain design principles and the appreciation of global artistic traditions has made it a timeless resource for understanding the language of ornament and its application across different mediums and cultural contexts.

Jones's work remains a testament to the Victorian era's quest for knowledge and understanding of the decorative arts, and it has been reprinted numerous times, reflecting its enduring popularity and relevance in the fields of art and design history.
