Antique Reclaimed Terracotta Floor Tiles
Paris Ceramics sources its antique reclaimed terracotta tiles from the south and west of France. Salvaged from period buildings, the tiles are at least 150 years old and were virtually all fired in wood-burning kilns, giving them their varied colour and less uniform texture than tiles fired in gas- or coal-fired kilns.
Moulded by hand, which gives them their interesting texture, the tiles reflect the colour of terracotta native to their region: from the yellows of Bordeaux to the warm pinks of the south-west - an unmistakeable signature of provenance.
Antique reclaimed terracotta tiles bring a warmth and softness that newly manufactured floors often struggle to achieve. Their beauty lies in their irregularity: softened edges, worn faces, subtle undulations, old lime traces and tonal movement created by generations of use.
Each tile carries the atmosphere of the building it came from, making every floor slightly different in rhythm, colour and character.
For architects, interior designers and clients seeking reclaimed terracotta flooring with genuine age, these tiles offer both decorative richness and material authenticity.
They are especially suited to kitchens, entrance halls, garden rooms, bathrooms, country houses, Mediterranean interiors and restoration projects where a softer, more timeworn surface is required.
Because these are reclaimed materials, batches vary in size, tone, thickness and surface condition. This variation should be seen as part of their value rather than a flaw.
When properly sorted, laid and sealed, antique terracotta creates a floor with depth, ease and quiet permanence.

Paris Ceramics selects antique reclaimed terracotta tiles for their provenance, colour, patina and architectural usefulness.
These are not reproduction tiles made to look old. They are historic materials prepared for a new chapter, ready to bring warmth, texture and lived-in beauty to contemporary interiors.
