Owen Jones was a 19th Century architect and designer but he's probably better known for his book called "The Grammer of Ornament". He was well travelled and he includes designs from the Egyptian, Greek, Persian, Arabian and Indian Empires in his book. Alot of his work covers geometric patterns which corresponds with what I'm currently researching for my self directed brief.
Arabian Ornament: plate XXXV
Persian Ornament:plate XLV
