Product Description

These reclaimed French terracotta tiles were originally handmade in the 18th and 19th centuries and laid in rural farmhouses, manors, and countryside estates across France and Italy. Salvaged during careful renovation and demolition projects, each tile is cleaned, hand-chipped, and sorted by colour and size in our in-house workshop.

The result is a stunning and practical floor — full of history — ideal for refined interiors and sympathetic restorations.
