Description
We are lucky enough to have acquired 260, original, Augustus Pugin, Minton floor tiles which were salvaged from St Cuthbert Church.
This church has history dating back to 1291, but was rebuilt in 1855, which is when these tiles date from.
The church was unfortunately demolished in the late 1960s, but luckily, a very savvy local resident requested to purchase the tiles from the company demolishing the church. They accepted, and they have been stored in a barn ever since, until now. We have various listings with different designed tiles, all of which are original Augustus Pugin designs produced by the famous Stoke On Trent potters, Minton.
We have six different designs available on our other listings, this listing is for the complete set of four tiles photographed.
Augustus Puin was a British Architect, designer, and artist who is best known for his important work in the Gothic Revival style.
He is particularly famous for his design of the interior of the Palace of Westminster, including the iconic Big Ben clock tower.
Pugin was a key figure in the Gothic Revival movement in the 19th century and his work had a significant influence on Victorian architecture and design. He popularised the Gothic Revival style during the 19th century which had been largely neglected during the 18th century, and it actually became the most dominant architectural styles of this time.
Pugin believed that quality of craftsmanship during the Middle Ages was superior to that of his own time, and he advocated for a return of the medieval techniques and materials. His emphasis on high-quality craftsmanship had a lasting influence on the Arts & Crafts movement and the idea of "truth to materials" in design.
It's safe to say, Pugin was one of the most important designers of the 19th century, and he is often referred to as the God of Gothic.
These tiles have had a light clean, however please be aware that these are approx. 170 years old so they do have slights scuffs and some may have minor nibbles to the sides.
