5 Clip Art Borders

Today we have an elegant collection of five Clip Art Borders! The architectural ornament images represented below were all scanned from an Antique Design book in my collection. The black and white ornamental scroll and swirl designs were used for wrought iron, architectural friezes, or moldings. These scroll patterns feature unique leaf designs for high-end decorative finishes, and sometimes were made of bronze.

Inside the home they might have been used for wooden, stone, or plaster moldings, along with stair rails. They often added stately detail and flair to a gate or fence outdoors. Some of the decorative motifs had a symbolic meaning. All of the Clip Art Border Images are nice to use in your Digital Design Projects. I think they would make great Photoshop Brushes! I can picture any of them as a Wedding Design or Stationery too! There are numerous ideas for these to choose from.

Vintage Clip Art Border Graphics

This Free Baroque Ornamental Border Clip Art is simply grand! The fashionable foliate design shows a beautiful ornate five petal floral patterning with large acanthus leaf swirls. The framed edges on the top and bottom make me think that perhaps this was used as a frieze or chair rail plaster molding. The embellishment of this pattern is simply stunning.

Pictured above is a Classic Black And White Ornamental Border Image! This decorative motif looks like a bunch of fancy acanthus leaves intertwined with a looping scroll element. Victorian homes were often decorated with bas-relief ornaments in the public rooms for show. Can you just imagine this border of crown molding encircling the walls at the ceiling of a fancy parlour?

Featured above is a Vintage Ornamental Border Drawing! This lavish design shows an elaborate, three-dimensional black and white Acanthus Leaf design enveloped in hefty scrolls and swirls. The central frieze is bordered by layered ribbing and molding to frame the edges.

Antique Ornamental Borders

Here we have an Old Ornate Ornamental Clip Art Border Graphic! The dynamic lines of this motif show a black and white floral and leaf design. Additionally, it has a central bar and scrolls. The framed edges add depth and sumptuous artistry to the fine craftsmanship shown here. This one is much wider or taller than the others.

Isn’t this a Gorgeous Baroque Ornamental Border Image? The filigree design shows an elaborate scroll decoration combining acanthus leaves, flowers, and palmettes. I love how loops terminating in spirals are integrated into the undulating design. They almost look like a fleur de lis in places. This one also displays more depth than the others. As a result, I believe it must have adorned a really grand home!
