A decorative design collection compiled by H. Dolmetsch and published in New York by R. Davis in 1912, drawing on ornament from India, China, Japan, Italy, Germany and France across many periods for craftsmen and students. The plates show ceiling compositions, painted Renaissance friezes, and carved Moorish panels, with dense interlaced scrolls, symmetrical framing, and heraldic medallions that suggest tile, plasterwork, and wallpaper motifs for a designer.
