9m2+ / 95 sq ft antique French ceramic kitchen tiles
A small triple border antique French ceramic encaustic kitchen floor dated c.1920 and totaling over 9m2 / 95sq ft.
The tiles, which are in excellent condition, are 14 cm sq / 5 ½ inches and a good quality ceramic. The floor consists of a principal field tile and a same size border tile framed above and below by a half size border tile. The background of the tiles is off-white with the geometric form consisting of a charcoal coloured chain link forming a cross, which is anchored by a repeating blue star. The more ornate borders feature stylised snowflake motifs and blue and white roping on a mushroom coloured background and compliment well the classical geometric design of the principal tiles. There are three large border corner pieces and five small border corner pieces. The missing corners can be supplied mitre-cut with the floor, from existing border tiles.
Tile quantities;- Principal tile – 291/5.7m2 Large border – 95/1.94m2/13.9 linear mts Small border – 169/1.7m2/24.2 linear mts
The tiles have been cleaned of their old mortar and years of old wax by an industrial steam cleaning. They therefore arrive ready to re-lay and being ceramic can be laid inside or outside. More photographs of the floor are available on request.
