Fireplace Tiles
Although ceramic tiles had been used to face brick or stone work
fireplaces in earlier times, by the mid-1880s onwards cast iron
fireplaces incorporating two vertical tile sets as an adornment
became increasingly fashionable. Many tube-lined, raised line and
intricately transfer printed tile designs were produced for these
panels, as well as for setting into the floor to create the
hearth.
Authenticity
Considerable research and development by Stovax has produced
reproductions with authentic background shades, colourful
decoration and highly translucent glazes to faithfully reflect the
charm and style of the Victorian originals.
