Ornamentation has been a topic of discussion for years. Its relationship with the built architecture cannot be
ignored. In the context of the cultural regional history of Lahore, various rulers left their mark in the form of
built heritage. This paper is based on one such British heritage building taken as a descriptive research with
historical setting. Its objectives included an in-depth study of its ornamentation designs and patterns, techniques
and understanding in the context of the regional style of Lahore. British built Court was selected as the sample
of the study with its ornamentation motifs. The research revealed motifs were influenced from local Mughal
floral patterns with a blend of British heraldry symbols, acanthus and quarter foil motifs. It was quite revealing
to understand the philosophy behind using various patterns. A further in depth research on designs to preserve
them for the future generations is need of the hour. This Research is helpful for art historians, design students as
well heritage conservatives.
