Ornament and Decorative Arts

Ornament and decorative arts

This category covers decorative objects and ornamental engraving, from Emperor Charles V's armour in the Real Armería to Indo-Persian miniatures on manuscript leaves and a frontispiece for a book on Spain and Portugal by Pieter van der Aa. Pieces span 1690 to 1962 and include work by M. Pujadas after Hogarth and other sources.

It suits collectors of the decorative arts and anyone drawn to ornament rather than figurative subjects. All pieces are original of their period, each with a technical description and measurements.
