Victorian Encaustic Foliate Scroll Floor Tile – 6 Inch, Design 13

The Victorian Encaustic Patterned Floor Tile – 6 Inch, Design 13 is an authentic decorative floor tile inspired by traditional Victorian flooring.

Featuring a distinctive two-colour inlaid pattern, this square encaustic tile is handmade using traditional ceramic techniques, making it an excellent choice for restoring period floors or creating a characterful new Victorian-style flooring scheme.

Authentic Encaustic Tile Construction

Unlike modern patterned tiles that have a design printed onto their surface, genuine encaustic tiles are made using contrasting coloured clays.

The decorative pattern is formed by inlaying coloured clay into the tile body, so the design extends below the surface rather than existing only as a printed finish.

This traditional manufacturing method gives encaustic tiles their distinctive appearance and makes them particularly suitable for heritage-inspired flooring.

Decorative leaf scrolls and interlacing bands

Design 13 features a balanced arrangement of curling leaf scrolls, with two upright leaves rising through the centre. Slender stems sweep towards the upper corners, while curved bands weave around the foliage. Small angular details within these bands contrast with the softer botanical shapes.

Straight bands along the upper and lower edges give the design a defined horizontal direction. Repeating the tiles in the same orientation creates a regular sequence of leafy motifs; individual tiles can also provide decorative accents within a plain geometric floor.

The photograph shows buff-coloured decoration on a reddish-brown background. Please confirm the required colour combination before ordering, particularly when coordinating with an existing floor.

Choice of Traditional Colours

This tile can be produced in a choice of colour combinations to suit your flooring scheme.

Traditional colours include red, buff, black, white and oatmeal, allowing the pattern to complement existing Victorian floor tiles or form part of a bespoke design.
