About the Item

A 36-piece set of 6-inch tiles by W. Godwin of Lugwardine in Herefordshire UK, perfect for use as an antique tile splashback, porch floor or fireplace hearth. Dating from the 19th century, these antique tiles together form an eye-catching geometric pattern consisting of black, blue and red colours that bring life and interest to even the smallest of spaces.
