Notice & album de la fabrique de carreaux unis & mosaïques / de G. Fièvé & Cie.
A trade catalogue of 1890 issued by G. Fièvé & Cie, a French maker of plain and mosaic floor tiles, published in Ghent, Belgium, for architects, builders and buyers choosing floor patterns. Its plates show square tile designs drawn in flat colour, with the scale 25 x 25 printed beside each one; the geometric diamond-and-band tile and the red, black and cream tiles with fleur-like scrolls and star centres suggest encaustic-style repeat patterns a designer could adapt for textiles, stencils or graphic borders.
