Historic Floors (Conservation &
Museology)
Complete Guide to Protecting & Repairing Historic Floors
Now in paperback, this book introduces an important and largely
neglected subject and considers conservation methods in a global
context. It traces the history of some of the great floors of Europe
from the fourth century B.C. and outlines the development of mosaic,
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. Leading authorities, archaeologists, architects and
archivists consider the latest methods of recording and repairing
historic floors, including those of cathedrals, country houses, the
monumental tiled pavements of the Palace of Westminster and other public
buildings. Management policies to protect outstanding floors in
over-visited sites are considered and historic features particularly at
risk, are identified. Urgent action is recommended to contain the damage
caused by the dramatic increase in tourism throughout Europe. |
