Antique octagon tiles complete with burgundy tile inserts

10.25m2+ / 110 sq ft of antique octagon ceramic tiles, 15cm wide, in a beige background decorated with black and biscuit coloured scrolling and sky blue flowers.

A 5cm sq (2 inch) floral themed burgundy tile, called a cabochon in French, links the octagons together and for ease of laying we have only included the full pieces and not the halves in the photographs.

Framing the floor is a light grey lattice Boch Freres border tile for which the corner pieces will be supplied mitre cut, as shown in the photographs.

The high resolution photographs detail a resentative section of the floor for which some tiles display small chips and nibbles expected of a floor of this age.
