SOLD   SOLD   SOLD   15.25m2 / 165 sq ft of French carreaux de ciments floor tiles, 16cm sq in a blue and red harlequin design with alternating black and brown linking squares. The tiles are dated to the decade between 1925-1935.

The floor, which has been reclaimed from the hallway of a town hall in the suburbs of Dijon, Burgundy, has been cleaned of its old lime based mortar and the tiles have had their faces cleaned with a professional alkaline wash to remove old wax and dirt.

The floor is in good condition; occassional chips and nibbles are apparent but there is a pleasing patina as the photographs detail. Being carreaux de ciment they are only suitable for internal laying unless there is no risk of sub zero temperatures outside you home.
