| Historic Floors introduces an important
and largely neglected subject and considers conservation methods in
a European context. It traces the history of some of the great floors
of Europe from the 4th century BC and outlines the development of
mosaics, tiles, marble and parquetry floors in secular buildings.
The early Christian pavements in basilicas, temples and cathedrals,
the creation of medieval tiles, ledger stones and monumental brasses,
their destruction by iconoclasts and re-creation during the Gothic
Revival, are also discussed. |
