About the Item

A pair of reclaimed encaustic decorative tiles by Maw & Co, Benthall Works, Brosley. At 6-inch in size, this pair display an eye catching scrolling floral pattern in a vibrant yellow on a moody black background, perfect for a decorative display in a period cottage or townhouse. Dating from the mid 19th century, these reclaimed tiles have been in use for over 160 years and as such have a characterful, timeworn look with scuffs and crazing that only enhances the beauty of these striking patterned tiles. Stamped to the reverse. We have two other pairs in the same design. Please enquire for more details. 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.
