Cabochon Tile, XV To XVIII Th Century

CABOCHON PAVEMENTS, XV to XVIII th century
Generally from the XV to XVIII th century, these stone pavings cut into squares from 18 cm x 18 cm to 33 cm x 33 cm are decorated at their angles with 1, 2, 3 or 4 slate cabochons generally in the shape of squares, diamonds, sometimes circles and exceptionally stylized clovers. The stone is generally an ocher to beige or cream limestone from, for the North of the Loire, quarries in Burgundy or the Loire Valley. You can find cabochon paving in blue stone from the North (Sainte Anne, etc.) or sometimes in Henault stone, a Belgian black shell. The surfaces are often restricted to entrances, corridors, small living rooms, more rarely large living areas or dining rooms. The thickness varies from 8 to 10 cm for the oldest pavements. In the 17th and 18th centuries, mechanical sawing allowed variable thicknesses of 2 to 4 cm. It is possible to subtract older slabs in order to obtain thicknesses compatible with our modern construction methods. This type of paving is perfect for laying on floor heating circulation. The advertised price of €250 per m2 of supply is an average which does not take into account either the size of the parts found or the surfaces dismantled.
