Pugin anticipated many of Ruskin's statements on design in the many books and pamphlets that he wrote.
Pugin, who favored the revival of fourteenth-century gothic, attempted to create entire coherent, consistent architectural and interior environments in this style, and by designing an entire "range of interior fittings," he attempted "to express entire schemes of design in Gothic terms, rather than employ Gothic architectural details as means of decorationa" (Collins Encylcopedia).
Pugin also created the "pattern for English Gothic jewellery and revived use of enamelling as integral part of design; influenced ecclesiastical and other jewellery." Finally, his "rigorous insistence on consistent, historically accurate" fourtheenth-century style proved an important influence on Victorian craftsmanship in many fields, including in furniture, metalwork, and jewellery.
