Carrelages en grès céramique vitrifié unis de toutes nuances et à dessins
This trade catalogue was issued around 1890 by the Perrusson fils and Desfontaines firm of Écuisses, near Saône-et-Loire in France, to show buyers its vitrified stoneware floor tiles in plain colours and patterned designs. The plates show square tile floors with border bands and corner motifs, each labelled with tile and band dimensions in millimetres. A designer could take from them the geometry of diagonal lattices, framing borders and star-and-square corner units that work for floors and tiled surfaces.
