by HansVanLemmen (Author)

Synopsis

The story of Victorian tiles is a fascinating one. During Queen Victoria's reign, tiles began to be mass-produced for the first time and were used in many public buildings, churches, shops and houses for their functional properties and their decorative effect. Victorian tiles were decorated by a variety of different methods and show a diverse range of subject matter, which makes them appealing to collectors. This book charts the history of Victorian tiles, focusing on the manufacturers, the designers, the decoration techniques, their applications in buildings, and the themes and styles to be found. There is also advice for tile collectors on where to buy, what to look for and how to manage their collection.
