Antique Cambridge Border Tiles — 172-Piece Blush Clay, St. Louis

Description

A rare and exceptional set of original American art tiles from the Cambridge Tile Company, crafted in the late 1890s and reclaimed from a historic Victorian mansion in St. Louis, Missouri. Includes 123 tiles at 1 x 6 in and 49 tiles at 1 x 3 in. The tiles feature a rich blush clay glaze — a sophisticated blend of dusty rose, soft mauve, and terracotta tones — with fine natural age crazing. Perfect for fireplace surrounds, hearths, Arts & Crafts or Victorian restoration, wainscoting, borders, or custom tilework. Excellent antique condition with glaze variation, edge wear, and age patina consistent with late 19th-century American architectural ceramics.
