Condition:
Excellent Removed from a fireplace that was little used
and with few minor marks. A few small corner chips
which if not completely hidden in a fireplace frame
will be barely noted (indeed the largest is a
glazed over manufacturing flaw) and some slight
touches of wear to the high points. Style: Floral
rococo A fun and interesting set of tiles one of
those things we never seem to have available
when asked for the criticism we get most often
is that our stock is too good. In looking tiles
for a period setting at times what may be
required are tiles rather less than perfect and
these fulfill that ideal whilst maintaining our
quality threshold. The design has a good measure of naivety and
is in simple colours which are quite flexible
for design colour schemes, the set has quite a
range of colours so we have picked out the range
in three large closeups and show the group
together, rely on the closeups for true colours.
The tiles are also a little undersize and
distorted in shape ie not quite square, neither
sufficient to cause any problems fitting in to
an iron fireplace being well within the margin
overlapped by the frame. There are also a few
minor surface manufacturing flaws and a couple
of patches of smoke stain in the crazing. Versos very clean embossed C*B and
