Object Description
A set of 9 reclaimed Minton encaustic floor tiles perfect for a period cottage or townhouse. The set comprises of nine 6-inch by 6-inch tiles in Pugin style with a repeating mustard and white floral pattern with stylised foliage and a blue background.
Dating from the mid 19th century, these reclaimed tiles have been in use for over 170 years and as such have a characterful, timeworn look with scuffs and crazing that only enhances the beauty of these striking patterned tiles.
We have others in the same design, available for purchase in panels of 9 (as pictured). Please enquire for more details.
Minton & Co
Thomas Minton opened the first Minton & Co factory in the 1790s, becoming one of the most popular pottery and porcelain manufacturers of the 19th century. Based in Stoke-On-Trent, Minton was at the centre of British pottery, specialising in earthenware, bone china and Parian porcelain. In 1845, Thomas Minton’s son, Herbert, partnered with Michael Daintry Hollins to establish the tile-making arm of the business. Today, Minton and Hollins tiles are highly sought after thanks to their beautiful patterns and unique history.
