Dating from the mid 19th century, these reclaimed encaustic tiles are a pleasing blend of buff, black and red terracotta colours.
A complimentary collection of mixed styles blending traditional geometric, floral and Fleur de lis patterns.
Together, these 3-inch tiles create a striking set for a statement splash back or decorative panel in an interior, supplied loose for arrangement in any formation.
Craven Dunnill & Co
Established in 1872, Craven Dunnill was founded by Henry Powell Dunnill who set up a tile factory in Jackfield, Ironbridge. Trading under the name ‘Craven Dunnill & Co’, the firm was to become one of the leading British producers of ceramic and encaustic tiles.
Though tile production ceased in 1951 and the Jackfield site closed, the modern Craven Dunnill firm returned in 2000. The business still exists today, supplying contemporary ceramic tiles made using traditional Victorian methods to the likes of London’s House of Commons and interior design projects across the globe.
