In fact, a rich array of floor treatments have been used--from brick, tile and linoleum to mats and floorcloths, from rag rugs to ingrain, embroidered and pile carpets. And, of course, Oriental rugs on wood floors. Finding just the right floor covering to furnish an old house or to create a period look in any building has always been a challenge. Now, Floor Coverings for Historic Buildings explains how to choose and buy the correct floor coverings used between 1750 and the 1930s, including where to order 475 reproductions described here in detail. This invaluable catalog, illustrated with 175 photographs, also provides a history of American floors,a glossary of floor covering terms, addresses for 82 suppliers (many of whom fill custom and special orders), a reading list and sources of help.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eFloor Coverings for Historic Buildings.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 1750 to 1800: The Colonial and Early Federal Interior.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 1800 to 1840: The Late Federal and Grecian Interior.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 1840 to 1875: The Early Victorian Interior.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 1875 to 1900: The Late Victorian Interior.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 1900 to 1930: The Modern Interior.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Appendix.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Architecture [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Architecture\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Architecture%20%5BAM%5D%22\"\u003eAM\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52509178298648,"sku":"9780471143826","price":24.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780471143826.jpg?v=1786496284","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/floor-coverings-for-historic-buildings-paperback-softback-9780471143826","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
