Mosaïques vénitiennes et romaines : mosaïques d'ors et d'émaux

Edmond Coignet & Cie · 1901 · Paris : Edmond Coignet & Cie · 12 pictures

A trade catalogue from Edmond Coignet & Cie of Paris, issued in 1901, presenting mosaic border and ground designs for floors and walls, with Venetian and Roman gold and enamel tesserae. The pages show plates numbered as bordure and fond patterns, each with a stylised frame or field. A designer could take from them the palette of ochre, sage, and gold, and the scrolling acanthus and geometric key-and-band borders that suit tile or mosaic layouts.
