French ceramic encaustic floor tiles - classical geometry c.1895 (CE17)

Large and complete antique French ceramic encaustic floor dated c.1895 totalling 21m2, 226sq ft, complete with double border. The floor was taken from the Hallway of a large Brussells house and both the main field tiles and the border tiles are 15cm sq (just under 6 inches) and 1.5cm (+ 1/2 inch) thick. Tessellating in a classical geometric design centered on a blue diamond motif backed by mid grey and charcoal linking, the main field tiles are complimented by a richer and more fluid border in the same palette.

The floor has been cleaned of its old lime based mortar to the back and sides and the faces have had their old wax and dirt removed. A tile count and the linear meterage / yardage is available on request.
