From ancient Sumerian pottery to Tiffany stained glass, decorative art has been a fundamental part of the human experience for generations.

In this work, Albert Jacquemart celebrates the beauty and artistic potential behind even the most quotidian object. Readers will walk away from this text with a newfound appreciation for the subtle artistry of the manufactured world.
