Examples of ornament : selected chiefly from works of art in the British Museum, the Museum of Economic Geology, the Museum of Ornamental Art in Marlborough House, and the new Crystal Palace
A pattern source-book compiled by Joseph Cundall and Francis Bedford in London in 1855, drawing ornament from objects in the British Museum, Marlborough House and the Crystal Palace for designers and manufacturers. The plates are flat two-colour and line renderings of borders, anthemion friezes, scrollwork panels and candelabra-style uprights, ready to be lifted as repeating rules, frames and endpapers.
