Medieval Ornamental Styles

When this book was originally published, in 1882, it was the first to take a systematic look at the polychromatic decoration of ecclesiastical and domestic buildings in the medieval style. This book continues to be an invaluable guide for students, young architects, interior decorators, and practical painters generally. To those already skilled in the subject, it gives useful hints based upon ancient authorities in the various styles of Gothic architecture. This book will also benefit those who enjoy decorating their own houses or furniture, or are perhaps involved in the restoration of their local church.
