Object Description
A set of 12 reclaimed glazed encaustic floor tiles by W Godwin, Lugwardine.
Dating from the late 19th century, these reclaimed floor tiles are of Pugin style in vibrant white and yellow with a moody black background, perfect for use as an entranceway floor or fireplace hearth in a period cottage or Victorian era property.
The set showcases a repeating pattern of stylised star and diamond shapes. These reclaimed tiles have been in use for over 100 years and as such have a characterful look that enhances the beauty of their striking pattern with an exceptionally clean finish.
