Antique Mottled Bronze Fireplace Tiles — 45 Glazed 3×3 Squares, 1900s

Description

A rare cache of 45 antique architectural tiles, each a luminous 3 x 3 inch square with a fine high-gloss glaze in a moody, mottled bronze that shifts like smoke over firelight. Likely American Encaustic or a rival Arts & Crafts maker, salvaged from an early 20th-century fireplace surround, carrying their story in fine crackle and glowing surface. Some show graceful age — slight crazing, flecks, or lift — but all retain a dazzling luster and structural integrity, suitable for a full restoration, accent wall, or dramatic backsplash.
