About the collection
Chris Blanchett was a tile collector and a specialist in architectural ceramics. Throughout his career, he acquired various tiles he thought to be impressive, amassing a vast collection, further examples of which can be found in The British Museum.
His passion dates back to the 1970s when he published books internationally about tiles, mosaics, brick, terracotta and stone.
His name grew more recognised as his career progressed, Blanchett becoming committee member of the Tiles & Architectural Ceramics Society, honorary Life Member of Tile Heritage Foundation and advisor to the Church Recorders section of the National Association of Decorative and Fine Arts Societies (NADFAS).
