Rare 19th Century Cement Tile Carpet - Neoclassical Star & Palmette Motif
from a Townhouse in Amsterdam-Zuidoost - 13.63 m2 (445 pieces)

Description:
An extremely rare and authentic batch of 19th-century cement/motif tiles, carefully dismantled from a stately townhouse in Amsterdam-Zuidoost.

This complete and characterful 'tile carpet' is distinguished by the refined Neoclassical/Jugendstil decor with a geometric star motif in soft blue, ochre yellow, cream and brown. The set is complete with the accompanying borders (palmette motif) and corner pieces, enabling a historically framed floor field to be laid.

Application & Aesthetic:
A unique opportunity for architects, restorers and enthusiasts of historic interiors. Ideal for creating a focal point in an entrance, hallway, kitchen, bathroom or hospitality interior (such as the cladding of a bar or counter). Even in larger spaces, beautifully combined as an inlaid 'tile carpet' surrounded by poured concrete floors, parquet or neutral modern tiles.

Condition:
The tiles have been dismantled with care. The upper surfaces and patterns are beautifully preserved. The tiles have not yet been cleaned (still contain original mortar/spec residue on the backside), which underlines the authenticity. All tiles have been individually inspected and counted.

Packaging & Shipping:
Careful packaging: To prevent transport damage, the tiles are bundled in groups of 7 with protective foam between them. The bundles are then securely placed in a crate with foam protection and strapped to a pallet.
Delivery: Door-to-door delivery (up to the curb). The driver will not bring the pallet inside. Please ensure adequate assistance during delivery due to the heavy weight of the shipment.

•••
2
3.
With 58 border tiles you can lay a rectangular tile carpet of 2.80 m × 2.98 m (16 × 17 tiles in total). For this you use 210 field tiles, leaving you with well over 130 field tiles for possible extensions, niches or trimming.
Combination with Modern Tiles / Wooden Floor:
Because the pattern is so strong, this floor piece lends itself very well to being laid as a central 'tile carpet' in a larger space (such as a hospitality venue, central hall or open-plan kitchen) with surrounding sleek poured floors, larger modern tiles or herringbone/parquet.

3. Kitchen Island, Hospitality & Bar:
Extremely suitable as a back wall, cladding of a bar/counter or as a floor accent in a vestibule, hallway or sanitary area.
