About the Item
A late 19th century encaustic floor tile by Craven Dunhill and Co (stamped) depicting four passant lions in deep red and buff tones. This 6-inch tile includes a bespoke steel stand as pictured, making it a stunning decorative interior piece for display or part of a collector's cabinet.
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Craven Dunhill and Co were held in particularly high regard for their encaustic tiles that imitated originals of the medieval period.
This antique tile is one such example, stamped to the reverse with makers mark.
The firm’s commissions included encaustic floor tiles for parish churches and great cathedrals, including the church at Kemberton, Shropshire, and Shrewsbury and Chester Cathedrals.
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.
