Victorian period tiling
Throughout Europe, period mosaic floor and wall tile schemes grace numerous locations. These captivating designs are renowned for their ornate nature and most commonly occur as geometric patterns or more intricate compositions crafted from small tesserae made of marble or ceramic.
During the Victorian era, the tessellated geometric style emerged as the most popular and widespread choice for domestic homes. The design of that period continues to adorn countless floors with timeless charm.
One of the most prevalent designs used for exterior locations was the classic black and white chequerboard pattern. This design featured 2-inch square tiles, bordered by diagonally set squares with a plain black border on each side. The chequerboard pattern adds a touch of classic elegance to any outdoor space.
For interiors, particularly in hallways, more elaborate and vibrant designs were favoured. These interiors often showcased encaustic tiles at the intersections of the lattice elements, creating mesmerizing visual patterns that have become iconic of the era.
In commercial premises, decorative period mosaics took centre stage, featuring lettering and floral designs created with small tesserae made of marble or ceramic. These mosaics were commonly found at entrances, captivating visitors with their intricate detailing and often incorporating the company name or logo.
