Decorative art, as a book category, covers the design, history, production and appreciation of ornamental and applied arts—objects made primarily for aesthetic and functional use rather than fine art painting or sculpture. Titles range from richly illustrated surveys of periods and styles (Arts and Crafts, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, folk and global traditions) to focused studies of ceramics, glass, metalwork, furniture, textiles, wallpaper and pattern design. The category includes museum catalogues, collectors’ guides, conservation and restoration manuals, how‑to and studio technique books, and biographical or movement histories, appealing to designers, craftsmen, students and collectors. Emphasis is placed on materials, techniques, motifs and the cultural contexts that shape decorative traditions, often featuring high-quality photography, plates and diagrams to document detail and construction.
