Often I spot these hints of the past embedded in the masonry near the top of a building or on hand-painted signs.
The ones that cheer me the most are the often intricate floor mosaics that can be found in the entrances.
Only a few of these are actually still relevant to the business that sits above them today |
These pictures have brought back many memories. Cannot imagine many shops paying for mosaics these days. Well spotted.
ReplyDeleteYes, some of them are just gorgeous. I suspect there were specialised artisans for this kind of thing.
ReplyDeleteAnother collection of door mosaics will be posted soon.
I love this kind of thing too. Beautiful pictures!
