History:
The fan pattern paving technique using setts – small, quarried stone blocks – was a hallmark of European city planning during the 18th and 19th centuries. Often laid by hand, these decorative patterns adorned pavements in public squares, civic buildings, and affluent neighbourhoods, particularly in regions such as Germany, Austria, and Italy. The curved alignment of the stones wasn’t just ornamental – it offered improved durability under foot traffic and changing weather. Today, many preserved city centres still showcase these elegant fan patterns, and their inclusion in model scenes offers a timeless tribute to historic urban craftsmanship.
