Product Details
An archer framed by curling foliage
Design 55 depicts an archer facing right, holding a tall curved bow with the other arm raised towards the shoulder. Details of the figure’s headwear, belted clothing and footwear give the scene its individual character.
A branching stem rises along the left side, while curling foliage fills the space around the figure. The photograph shows buff-coloured decoration against a reddish-brown background, illustrating one colour combination.
A decorative inset for a Victorian floor
Use the complete scene as a focal point among plain geometric tiles, or repeat it at intervals within a larger floor scheme. Its upright composition benefits from careful positioning: choose the main viewing direction before setting out the surrounding tiles.
A simple border can frame an individual inset or a group of pictorial tiles. Check the colours, dimensions and thickness of all adjoining pieces before confirming the layout.
Genuine ceramic encaustic construction
The pattern is formed using contrasting coloured clays, with the decoration extending below the ceramic surface. This is genuine encaustic construction rather than a printed encaustic-effect finish.
Colour options and restoration
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.
For period property restoration, compare the figure’s pose, bow and surrounding foliage with the original tile, as similar pictorial designs can differ in their details.
