VICTORIAN FLOOR TILES CATALOGUE

Recreating the splendour of traditional Victorian floors

Geometric floor tiles are part of Britain's heritage and were used originally to ornament medieval churches and monasteries and the homes of the aristocracy. Their popularity was enhanced in the 1830's with the accession to the throne of the young Queen Victoria and they soon became one of the hallmarks of the new romantic movement.

In this catalogue you will find a selection of popular designs drawn from original Victorian pattern books. For example, the design of the original tiles laid in Inverlochy Castle in 1863 became so popular they found their way to the furthest reaches of the Empire and Singapore where, in 1886, it first graced the billiards room and bar at the splendid Raffles Hotel.

Today's nostalgia for Victorian elegance has led to Original Style re-creating these classic floor tiles, using modern production methods combined with traditional clay colour stains.

To suit your own personal décor, you are free to make changes of colour or shape to patterns, or even to design your own patterns - the permutations are limited only by your imagination.
