首次出版于 1856 年，至今仍是设计经典。它的灵感来自英国先锋建筑师和设计师欧文·琼斯（1809-1874 年），他为机器时代创作了一部全面的设计论文，并用鲜艳的彩色石印技术配以华丽的插图。琼斯在欧洲、中东和家乡伦敦旅行时对装饰艺术进行了细致的观察，在伦敦，他研究了 1851 年万国工业产品大博览会和当地博物馆的展品。他的目标是通过改变维多利亚时代设计师的习惯来提高西方设计的质量，因为维多利亚时代的设计师不加区分地混合了来自各种来源的元素。琼斯的研究是对装饰设计风格的全面分析，列举了从毛利纹身、埃及柱和希腊边框到拜占庭马赛克、印度刺绣和伊丽莎白时代的雕刻等主要例子。《装饰语法》既具有华丽的维多利亚风格，又具有鲜明的现代感，它赞美了不同时期和不同大陆的美丽物品，至今仍是一本不可或缺的资料书。

First published in 1856, The Grammar of Ornament remains a design classic. Its inspiration came from pioneering British architect and designer Owen Jones (1809–1874), who produced a comprehensive design treatise for the machine age, lavishly illustrated in vivid chromolithographic color. Jones made detailed observations of decorative arts on his travels in Europe, the Middle East, and in his native London, where he studied objects on display at the Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations in 1851 and at local museums. His aim was to improve the quality of Western design by changing the habits of Victorian designers, who indiscriminately mixed elements from a wide variety of sources.

Jones's resulting study is a comprehensive analysis of styles of ornamental design, presenting key examples ranging from Maori tattoos, Egyptian columns, and Greek borders to Byzantine mosaic, Indian embroidery, and Elizabethan carvings. At once splendidly Victorian and insistently modern, The Grammar of Ornament celebrates objects of beauty from across time periods and continents, and remains an indispensable sourcebook today.

欧文·琼斯（1809-1874）是一位出生于英国的威尔士建筑师，也是十九世纪最重要的设计理论家之一。19世纪50年代，他在南肯辛顿设计学院教授应用艺术，并担任1851年伦敦世界博览会的工程总监。他是南肯辛顿博物馆（后来成为维多利亚和阿尔伯特博物馆）创建的关键人物。

Owen Jones (1809–74) was an English-born Welsh architect and one of the most important design theorists of the nineteenth century. He taught applied arts at the South Kensington School of Design in the 1850s and served as Superintendent of Works at the Great Exhibition of 1851. He was a key figure in the founding of the South Kensington Museum, which later became the Victoria and Albert Museum.
