The floor coverings herein discussed are defined as any material used to finish a floor, including wood, brick, stone, tile, linoleum, vinyl, matting, and carpeting. The introduction discusses several factors that may be weighed when restoration of aged or damaged historic floor covering is being considered, such as authenticity, the necessity of using custom work, special orders or stock items, or adopting alternative solutions when no reproduction can be obtained. A catalog of available reproduction floor covering is then presented in five chronological time periods spanning the 1750-1930 interval. Each chapter begins with a brief description of the types of floor coverings that style and manufacturing technology made available at that time and concludes with a list of suitable reproductions and adaptation for each type, with detailed relevant information for each entry. -- AATA
