An original marble mosaic found in the main entrance of a grand mansion block under layers of carpet, vinyl tiles and cement levelling compound. Despite the poor condition of the remaining mosaic the residents were keen to retain and restore the original floor to its former glory.
The necessary work was extensive, including where possible, the salvaging of original marble tesserae, cleaning, dressing, consolidation, pre-fabrication of missing sections, numerous extensive in-situ repairs, final cleaning and finishing treatment. The project took 8 weeks from start to finish with a sympathetic and fantastic result to the delight of the residents.
