How
our tiles are made: Our range of authentic victorian
tiles are probably the most authentic you will find. The
images original Victorian tile designs taken from the original
templates. The materials and methods of production are also
faithful to the originals - the original hand-formulated
glazing recipes are used, and each tile is hand-painted
before firing, in exactly the same way it was done over
100 years ago. |
 William
Morris (1834-1896) was the son of a successful businessman,
born on 24th March 1834 in Walthamstow a small village to
the east of London. Morris was educated at Marlborough and
Exeter College, Oxford. Later he formed a company of designers
and decorators with other very talented friends Morris,
Marshall, Faulkner & Co. They specialised in stained glass,
carvings, furniture, wallpaper, carpets and tapestries.
The company's designs brought about a complete revolution.
Their commissions included the Red House in Upton (1859),
the Armory and Tapestry Room in St. James's Palace (1866)
and the dinning room in the Victoria and Albert Museum.(1867).
In 1875 the business partnership came to an end and William
Morris formed a new business Morris and Company. In addition
to his commissions, William Morris found time to write poetry
and prose and devoted a lot of time to political writing.
