What is egg-and-dart? Where would you find gadrooning and strigillation? In this book, Philippa Lewis unpacks the rich vocabulary of classical ornament, from the Five Orders, with their columns, capitals and entablatures, to the patterns and motifs which adorn them. An indispensable guide to the visual language which still surrounds us today.
