Seller's Description:
VG-(light shelfwear to wraps, light soiling to text block, pages are clean and clear, binding tight) Tan and color illustrated wraps; bw illustrated title page, 111 pp; profusely illustrated throughout in bw and color. "This is the third in a series of majot exhibitions held at Temple Newsam which set out to explore neglected aspects of country house interiors. The first was devoted to historic paper hangings, the second investigated the theme of chimney furniture and garnitures, while the present show concentrates on floors-their materials, decoration and coverings. Published research on the subject surprisingly meagre and scattered so we trust that this scholarly well-illustrated catalogue will become a useful source of reference. Field work and research have turned up copious documentary evidence and much previously unrecorded material."--Foreward. Contents include: Floors at Temple Newsam--Designs for decorated floors--Decorated floors--Luxury carpets--Ingrain carpets--Utility floor coverings--Matting--Painted floor cloths--Protective covers & druggets--Maintenance--Inventories and sale catalogues.
