Pair of antique Victorian encaustic fleur-de-lis floor tiles
in the Gothic Revival / Puginesque style, made by William Godwin of
Lugwardine. In a heavy earthenware, they
measure approx. 5 inches square and are marked Godwin to the back. They came in a card box attributing them to
the floor of the nave of Chichester Cathedral (see last photo – box not
included with sale). One is in better condition
then the other, with some cemented tile adhesive residue to the back and sides,
plus one has a few chips to the edges, as per the photos. The surface glaze has worn.
