The
one on the lower right is from the entrance corridor.
The wording above reads – Maison contiguë à celle dite
de Championnet.
The
top two mosaics would appear to be from Villa of Diomedes, however according to
PPM, the atrium flooring in this house also had a black background with regular
rows of large white stones, and the edge consisting of a large white band.

VIII.2.3
Pompeii.
Painting of entrance corridor, atrium and tablinum floor mosaics by Hans Georg Skovgaard.
See Staub Gierow M., 2008. Pompejanische Kopien
aus Dänemark. Roma: L'Erma di Bretschneider, no. 252 p.

Motiv|: Grundriss der nördlichen Partie des Hauses
mit detaillierten Widergaben einzelner Pavimente.
Die Pavimente des Vestibulums a, des Atriums b,
des Cubiculums c und der Ala e werden von Skovgaard ahnlich wie von Zahn wieder
gegeben.
Blouet, dessen Kopie in Travaux et Envois
abgebildet wird, beschränkt sich auf eine Grundrisszeichnung mit flüchtig
angedeuteten Pavimentdekorationen im Vestibulum und Tablinum. Duban zeichnet
auf seinem, ebenfalls in Travaux et Envois gezeigten Grundriss die Felderrahmungen
in einigen Räumen und das Emblem des Tablinumbelags. Die von Skovgaard
wiedergegebenen Mosaikschwellen lassen sich mit wenigen Ausnahmen überprüfen:
Diejenige in der Öffnung zum Cubiculum f ist heute teilweise erhalten, und hier
stimmt die Kopie mit dem Original uberein; die mit eleganten geometrischen und
vegatabilen Ornamenten geschmückte Schwelle in der AlaÖffnung unterscheidet
sich von der Zahnschen Überlieferung und ist heute gänzlich verlorengegangen;
Gleiches gilt für diejenigen in den beiden Öffnungen zum Tablinum.: Das Emblem
in der Mitte des Tablinumspaviments zwar heute auch vollkommen zerstört, aber
hier deuten auch die skizzenhaften Zeichnungen Blouets und Dubans auf zumindest
eine ähnlich gestaltete Gliederung in vier quadratische, jeweils von einem
geometrisch

Motif|: Floor plan of the northern part of the house with detailed presentations of individual floors.
The flooring of vestibule a, atrium b, cubiculum c and ala e are reproduced by Skovgaard in a similar way to Zahn.
Blouet, whose copy is reproduced in Travaux et Envois, confines himself to a floor plan with cursorily suggested floor decorations in the vestibule and tablinum.
Duban draws the outlines in some rooms and the emblema of the tablinum covering on his floor plan, also shown in Travaux et Envois.
The mosaic thresholds reproduced by Skovgaard can be verified with a few exceptions:
- the one in the opening to the cubiculum f is partially preserved today, and here the copy agrees with the original;
- the threshold in the ala opening, decorated with elegant geometric and vegetable decorations, differs from Zahn's version and is completely lost today;
- the same applies to those in the two openings to the tablinum.
Although the emblema in the centre of the tablinum flooring is also completely destroyed today, the sketchy drawings by Blouet and Duban indicate at least a similarly designed division into four square sections, each of which is surrounded by a geometric design.

According to PPM, the mosaic floor in this room would have been with a black background inset with white rows of tiles surrounded by a white border. The threshold of the room, no longer conserved, was drawn by Zahn and showed a rich decoration with flower/leaves elements.

VIII.2.3 Pompeii. Pre-October 1852. Drawing by Zahn, of three mosaics from this house (?).
(According to the painting by Skovgaard, the ala threshold is different).
According to Zahn - the threshold on the right, showing meanders, is from an unknown room in this house.
Zahn also attributes the central mosaic to this house (9 designs x 15 designs).

According to Jashemski, this peristyle garden, was enclosed on four sides by a portico supported by fourteen columns.
Off the north-west corner of the peristyle was a small room which Mazois and Fiorelli call a sacrarium.
At the rear, there was a terrace.

See Mazois, F., 1824. Les Ruines de Pompei : Second Partie. Paris: Firmin Didot. (p. 61, Plate XX fig 2)
According to Mazois, this mosaic was attributed to the plans of the houses at VIII.2.1 and VIII.2.3.
However, he also attributed this mosaic to the centre of the tablinum of VI.2.16 –
“In the centre of the room would have been an emblema with four-petalled rosette set in a square with border of triangles.”

VIII.2.1-3 Pompeii. Pre-1842. Drawings of mosaics by Zahn from several houses.
According to Zahn - for
the most part, these are from a house near to the Basilica, between the House
of Championnet and the Curia.
Other than the central (red) mosaic which
was from the entrance corridor at VII.4.31 and the red square mosaic, on the
right, from VIII.2.13.

the painting of the floor plan by Skovgaard and the paintings of mosaics by

Comparing the drawing of the plan of this
house by Skovgaard and the mosaic paintings by Zahn and numbering both, shows -
1: The mosaic from the entrance
fauces/corridor.
2: The mosaic from the threshold to the ala,
(different to that as shown by Zahn).
3: The mosaic from the threshold of the
cubiculum in the south-east corner of the atrium.
4: The mosaic from the threshold of the cubiculum in the

5: The mosaic from the threshold of the cubiculum in the

6: The mosaic from the threshold of the corridor on the west side
of the tablinum, may be the one seen, at the top right next to the one above.

Comparing
these paintings with the floor plan painted by Skovgaard suggests many of these
may be from VIII.2.1-3 -
Top row –
Left - from the south side of the Exedra or Tablinum, VIII.2.3.
Centre left – possibly from cubiculum in south-east corner of atrium, VIII.2.3.
Centre right – threshold from cubiculum in the north-west corner of the atrium, VIII.2.3.
Right – threshold from cubiculum in the north-east corner of the atrium, VIII.2.3.
Centre row –
Left, from the border of the impluvium in the atrium of VIII.2.3.
Centre left, vestibule/entrance corridor of VIII.2.3.
Centre right, mosaic from the threshold to the ala, VIII.2.3.
(According to Mazois
– from either VIII.2.1 or VIII.2.3, (See
Mazois, F., 1824. Les Ruines de Pompei : Second Partie. Paris :
Firmin Didot, pl. XL.).
Right, possible emblema from Tablinum or Exedra of VIII.2.3 as shown by Skovgaard, but here described as “atrium”.
Lower row –
Left – unknown.
Centre left, top – described as from “atrium”, probably from border around impluvium in VIII.2.1. See sketches by Hittorff, Lesueur amd Duban in VII.2.1.
Centre left, lower – very similar to mosaic from south side of Exedra of VIII.2.3?
Centre right - unknown.
Right - unknown - similar mosaics, but with differing tower patterns, are in II.4.6, VI.1.7/25, VIII.3.8, VIII.4.15.
VIII.2.3 Pompeii.
According to the writing, this is a drawing/watercolour of
the mosaic flooring from the Exedra of the House of Championnet.
According to Skovgaard’s floor plan painting (below) –
it would appear to be the central emblema from the tablinum and a
threshold from the tablinum.
