Indian Pattern No. 6

About the Artist:
Owen Jones (1809–1874) was a British architect, designer, and theorist whose work reshaped 19th-century design. His most enduring legacy is The Grammar of Ornament (1856), a landmark publication featuring richly colored plates that codified decorative motifs from cultures around the world. Drawing inspiration from Islamic, Indian, Greek, and medieval sources, Jones developed a set of universal design principles that influenced architecture, textiles, and the applied arts throughout Europe and beyond.

About the Artwork:
Indian Pattern No. 6 is one of the striking plates from The Grammar of Ornament, showcasing the refined geometry and vibrant color traditions of Indian design. The pattern balances symmetry with intricate detailing, combining floral motifs and interlaced forms in bold reds, blues, and golds. Rather than a mere reproduction, Jones distilled the essence of Indian ornament into a stylized design that celebrated both cultural specificity and universal harmony in decoration.

Why We Selected It:
We chose this work for its bold elegance and timeless adaptability. The rhythmic forms and vibrant palette bring energy and sophistication to any setting, while also paying homage to one of the world’s richest decorative traditions. As wall art, it offers both cultural depth and striking visual impact, making it a perfect choice for interiors that value history, design, and refined ornamentation.
