Antique terracotta floor 24 x 24 cm

Beautiful reclaimed 24 x 24 cm antique terracotta flooring, square-shaped, 3/3.5 cm thick, with a "shaded" pinkish color. A rich, intense, and warm color to bring greater hospitality and comfort to your home. The beauty of antique terracotta tiles is amplified by the signs of wear and tear.

This is clearly a type of terracotta that belonged to a humble, modest dwelling. Perhaps a country farmhouse or a small town house. This can be deduced from the fact that these tiles do not have a very refined or elaborate shape, but rather a simple one. In simpler settings (such as the kitchen) and in rural homes, a simple paving of rectangular or square tiles with the same dimensions as common bricks is, in fact, common.
Slightly more refined examples feature a herringbone layout of the tiles, perhaps enclosed by a border along the edges of the rooms.

As is easy to deduce, terracotta floors belonged mostly to the peasant tradition. The grand noble palaces of antiquity preferred marble floors or other materials considered more worthy.

Today, however, antique terracotta has been rightly rediscovered and highly valued. Our 24 x 24 cm antique terracotta floors are, in fact, beautiful and of the highest quality. Their great resistance is the proof. As you can see, our antique floors have been preserved extremely well and are now available for purchase.
