This work by Owen Jones, a prominent architect and designer of the 19th century, showcases a collection of decorative borders from various buildings in Pompeii. The design of each border uses an intricate arrangement of geometric and floral motifs, rendered in a palette of vibrant reds, blues, blacks, and gold. Jones was deeply interested in historical ornament and this work exemplifies his keen eye for detail, contributing to the revival of classical ornament during the Victorian era.
