I love looking back at photos of Britain in Victorian times like the one above. If you click here you’ll link to that photo and 37 more fabulous images from the London Underground circa 1863 on buzzfeed. Don’t you just love the gorgeous Victorian metro tiles? I like the fashion too, everyone looks so frightfully dapper.
Today I’m going to talk about why Victorian and Edwardian style tiles, also known as encaustic tiles are so fabulous for many areas in your home. They are beautiful statement tiles of a bygone era. They are tried and tested and give any home that real wow factor.
Tile Studio Esher has been supplying Victorian tiles for over 30 years. Currently we have a record number of orders per week such is the revival of these beautiful, timeless designs. Our customers use them for pathways, porches, entrances, bathrooms, kitchens and hallways. Here are just a few of the many designs we offer:
