To help us with this project we feel it is important to learn more about the carpet clips and their uses. Below shows some information about our particular carpet clips from www.vads.com.
Byson carpet clips were in ciculation from the1920's to around 1959. The Modip museum has a collection of 18 compression moulded phenol formaldehyde stair carpet clips by Byson. Each clip comprises of two parts: one section is for fixing to the stair riser and is drilled to accommodate a screw, whilst the second larger part slots into it trapping the carpet in place.
The moulding for the Byson carpet clips is in an Art Deco style and was probably in use in the home during the first half of the twentieth century. As a result of this we will direct some of our research at the Art Deco period and take inspiration from the Art Deco style.
