I bought these because I couldn’t walk past them.
Twenty antique French encaustic floor tiles, each one with the most beautiful faded turquoise, cream, black and terracotta pattern.
Dating from around the turn of the last century, they would originally have formed part of a much larger floor in a French home. A hallway, kitchen or veranda perhaps. Imagine all the footsteps they’ve seen over the last hundred years or so.
The colours are what got me. They feel both bold and faded at the same time.
I have 20 available in total and they’re perfect for anyone who loves old houses, architectural salvage and unusual decorative pieces.
Use them as trivets, display them on a shelf, frame a group together, splash back (like I have ) incorporate them into a tabletop or, if you’re lucky enough to have enough already, add them to an existing floor.
20cm square.
£18 each, £70 for 4 or £320 for 20 😁
(And yes… I may have been tempted to keep them myself.) ❤️
