Up to 41m2 / 440 sq ft Boch Freres handmade ceramic - 1860-1905

An opportunity to merge together two rare handmade Boch Freres, Maubeuge ceramics with their original border series to create a floor of up to 41m2 / 440 sqft. in surface area. 

The identical 17.2cm sq field tiles comprise 25m2 / 269 sq ft of the floors total surface (60%).

We include in the gallery photographs of the two floors*, further details of which can be found if you click here and here. 

* hover your mouse over the photos to see the floors identified as Floor A and Floor B.

There is the opportunity to take some or all of the border tiles available with both floors and we will be happy to look at the potential fit and the aesthetic of the floors lay in your chosen area without obligation.

NOTE:-
Antique tiles were most commonly made in single or two tile moulds. Before current computer automation methods their moulds were made my hand and the colour slips mixed by eye. Kiln temperatures could also be variable, as could the firing time. The result is that often tiles display subtle size and thickness variations and there can be tonal variations in colours, owing to the slip mixing and/or firing time. All of this makes these handmade tiles unique and adds to their charm. Some floors display their subtle variations in size and tones, some not, but when photographing we always take a random section of the floor so that it is representative of the whole. A tiler should always dry lay a section of the tiles to familiarise himself with them before starting to fix lay.
