ID:SDV365384
Title:Sgraffito-Decorated and Painted Plaster on Devon Fireplaces
Originator:Adams, A.
Date:2015
Summary:Discusses a type of decoration in which the plaster lining and face of the open fireplace were enriched with black (or grey) and white patterns. It considers the techniques employed in making such ornament, the range and origins of the designs, the social status of their owners, and their date. Although this kind of decoration is known in other counties, examples in Devon are especially numerous. Many of the recorded examples have been destroyed and most of the surviving ones are in poor or fragmentary condition; this paper offers a series of drawings recording the surviving evidence, with some reconstructions of complete designs.
