RT053 – Carron Tube Lined Fireplace Tiles (LGC003)

Carron Tube Lined Fireplace Tiles (LGC003)

These beautifully hand made Carron reproduction fireplace tiles come in boxes of 10 (5 for each side). They are 150mm (6″) square and two 5 tile-runs make up a set to fit into a cast-iron fireplace. These particular tiles come with a dark background with bold embossed orange and red colours in the shape of a flower.

Tubelined Tiles
Tubeline Fireplace Tiles were traditionally manufactured to withstand the high temperatures generated by a working fireplace and performed the practical function of reflecting heat into the room when placed at an angle facing inward. They are individually hand painted in the traditional way and will be subject to colour variation and normal crazing.

Fireplace Tiles
The Victorian and Edwardian tile was very much a feature of the fire within the room, and was often vivid in colour with stunning designs. This could be as simple as a coloured embossed tile, to a run of tiles depicting many different scenes or images. From floral to symmetry, to simply unusual. Once the fire was lit these tiles would glow and the picture seen was so enticing.

When the Art Nouveau period arrived this style reached its way to all the accessories of a stylish home which very much included the tiles of the fire. They were awash with elegant curves, shapes and colours and would finish off that wonderful period image.
