Carreaux de ciment / Blachère, Lebert, Vigier & Cie
A trade catalogue of cement floor tile patterns issued in 1881 by the Paris and Nantes manufacturers Blachère, Lebert, Vigier & Cie, aimed at architects, builders and buyers choosing floors. The plates show numbered tile designs as full-colour sheets, each with a field pattern and matching border strips. A designer could take the geometric repeats, such as diamonds, rosettes and lattice grids, and the layered borders as ready models for flooring and tile layouts.
