Victorian Encaustic Framed Leaf Cross Floor Tile – 4.25 Inch, Design 51

A pointed leaf cross within a square border

Design 51 features four broad pointed leaves directed towards the middle of each edge. Contrasting teardrop details sit inside these leaves, while four smaller three-lobed ornaments extend diagonally between them.

A contrasting ring outlines the circular centre. The surrounding square border gives the botanical pattern a clear boundary, with a plain margin extending to the tile edges.

The photograph shows black ornament and framing against a buff-coloured background. This illustrates one colour combination.

A complete framed inset

Use Design 51 as an individual decorative inset among plain geometric tiles, allowing its square frame to define the motif.

Repeated in aligned rows, the tile creates a regular grid of framed botanical panels. For a quieter scheme, space the decorated tiles apart and use a simple border around the floor.

Compare the colours, dimensions and thickness of adjoining pieces before finalising the layout. For restoration work, check the pointed leaves, teardrop details, ringed centre and border against the original tiles.

Genuine ceramic encaustic construction

Contrasting coloured clays form the decoration, which extends below the ceramic surface. This is genuine encaustic construction rather than a printed encaustic-effect finish.

Colour options

Alternative colour combinations are available by enquiry. The traditional palette includes red, buff, black, white and oatmeal. Please contact us to discuss colours for your chosen design or to coordinate with an existing floor.
