Jones trained as an architect and travelled to the Middle East where he made a study of decorative art. In 1856 he published the <i>Grammar of Ornament</i>, analysing patterns and colours from many periods and cultures. The book became an invaluable source for many designers. \r\n\r\nJones believed that reproducing flowers and similar objects in a naturalistic way was in bad taste. He preferred to create stylised motifs, as in this example, entitled 'Sutherland', and he designed a range of high quality silks using this type of pattern for leading manufacturers like Warner, Sillett & Ramm.","physicalDescription":"Furnishing fabric of Jacquard woven silk.
