Object Condition

This lot consists of two sizes of tile, the majority being 62.5 cm square. Assuming the slightly larger tiles are reduced to this size, there would be a minimum coverage of 32.8 m2.

A good quantity of further slightly damaged tiles are included, which could be cut into a border, further increasing the area.

The tiles are generally quite clean on the backs. There is a thin coating of lime. The backs are hand cut.
