Excerpt from Reference Library: A Series of Textbooks Prepared for the Students
1. Meaning of "Ornament." - The term ornament in its more limited sense is applied to such elements of decoration as are adapted or derived from natural forms. These differ from what we consider the geometrical elements, inasmuch as they are organic, and suggestive of life and growth. They depend for their expression on the general arrangement of their branches, leaves, and blossoms, while the geometrical elements owe their expression entirely to their geometrical form and arrangement relative to one another. When simply drawn on paper and in no way applied to any object, or used for any purpose other than the expression of itself. one of these elements of decoration may be considered simply as an ornament. It does not become an element of decoration until it is applied to something, and in the abstract, the term ornament should not be confused with the term decoration, which is distinctly applied ornament.
2. Meaning of "Decoration." - The term decoration signifies the application, or the result of the application, of ornament to objects or surfaces. It does not mean the simple "sticking on" of an ornament to a surface, but coveys the idea of the adaptation of an ornamental form to suit the requirements of its position and the purpose of the object to which it is applied.
