This edition comprises over 100 lavish full colour plates, each illustrating a number of different styles from panels and borders, columns and capitals, illuminated manuscripts and ceramics. A lucid explanatory text describes the use and development of each pattern and the part it played in the culture as a whole. First published in this format in 1997. The dust-jacket is in very good condition with only light wear and fading at the front edge. The hardback cover is a little faded along the top but otherwise very good. The binding is tight. The pages are unmarked apart from light age yellowing at the edges. The first photo is a stock image, the remainder are of this copy. Because of the weight the book will be sent by courier.
