We had 2.5 ft of smelly, muddy water for Gordon to swim around in downstairs. We lost A LOT of stock- most tragically an early 19th century pure silk Kashan ::sob:: It is completely destroyed, with a tiny fragment left which I shall no doubt get my father to frame. I'll post photos of that up next week in commemoration.
Many other pieces were soaked through, including some antique and semi antique pieces, although they actually fared quite well, having been cleaned several times in their lives and therefore having little loose dye left. They're being hosed down in London just now, and dried off on giant radiators!
The problem with rugs that we have lost is that they will never truly be replaced, and we're very sad about it.
But, hey-ho, onwards and upwards! All the plasterboard & insulation & woodwork has been torn out, and the joiners will be in the second the meter reading says the space is dry enough- woohoo! It will look fantastic once it's completed (estimated completion date: mid January), not that it didn't look great before (see photos).
I reckon some nice painted tiles from Kashan would look pretty good on the floor, Jo
hn's not convinced...
