About the Item

A set of 24 antique encaustic floor tiles by Maw & Co. Dating to circa 1870, the set comprises of twenty-four 6-inch tiles in Pugin style with a buff finish. These impressive tiles showcase a repeating octagonal pattern of stylised foliage in a dark red with a background in a golden neutral tone, perfect for use as an entranceway floor or fireplace hearth in period and contemporary properties alike. The back of each tile is clearly impressed by Maw & Co and in excellent clean condition, making them a rare find. The tiles could be displayed as pictured or changed in different settings as desired. Additional information Each tile is 15cm x 15cm square (6in x 6in), 2cm (0.79in) deep. Overall dimensions are for the tiles combined. Maw & Co. Antique Tiles Maw & Co. was founded in 1850 by George Maw and his brother Arthur. Over the next 30 years, the business would grow into one of the most influential English floor tile manufacturers in the industry, Maw & Co. tiles decorating properties and establishments across the globe. Initially based in Worcester, the business relocated to the Benthall Works in Broseley, Shropshire in 1852. Here they made their highly sought after encaustic tiles while experimenting with majolica glazes, transfer print, hand painting and relief tiles. In 1883, the business expanded, relocating again to a new premises in Jackfield. At the end of the 19th century, Maw & Co. was one of the largest tile factories in the world, trading for a further 70 years before closing in 1970. Encaustic tiles Encaustic tiles are traditionally created using different colours of ceramic clay with a pattern inlaid into the body of the tile. The coloured clays can expand into the base tile colour, meaning the patterns remain visible even after centuries of wear.
