Decorative Period Features

The following features can complement and enhance interior and exterior period mosaics:

• Yorkstone and wood steps
• Brass Thresholds (step treads and carpet edging)
• Daisy-grates
• Path-edging
• Coalhole covers

Yorkstone

Traditionally used for steps and thresholds for its durability,versatility and elegance. Broken, heavily weathered or worn stone can be replaced with modern quarried stone.

Brasswork

A variety of brasswork is used to complement tiled areas and prevent wear on thresholds and doors.

Daisy-Grates

Commonly found beneath steps, this decorative feature provides basement ventilation. These can be revived if heavily eroded or replaced with reproductions if broken or missing.

Path-edging

Commonly in castellated or rope-topped styles, these edgings provide a necessary boundary for the path, helping to retain planted borders, gravel etc. and ensuring efficient water run-off.

Coalhole Covers

Traditionally used to provide a convenient means of delivering coal, these can commonly be found still intact in pathways and can be restored and re-incorporated into new or restored paths.
