Antique Yellow terracotta tiles, also known as Antique Yellow (Jaune) Terracotta, are actual reclaimed antique hand-made tiles from Central and Southern France.
The tile sizes are commonly 15 and 20cm (6β and 8β), with thickness varying around 3cm (1ΒΌβ).
The Antique Yellow Terracotta in this picture is formed of small rectangles. Antique Yellow Terracotta is used primarily indoors. It can be used outside only in non-freeze areas.
As part of the Antique Reclaimed Terracotta Floor Tiles collection, Antique Yellow (Jaune) Terracotta brings a lighter, warmer register to historic French clay flooring. Its colour sits in the softer yellow, ochre, honey and sun-washed side of the terracotta family, giving interiors warmth without the deeper red weight often associated with traditional clay floors.
These Antique Yellow terracotta tiles are particularly suited to interiors where the floor should feel aged, hospitable and quietly established. The small rectangular format gives the surface a gentle linear rhythm, while the handmade irregularity, worn edges and tonal movement prevent the installation from feeling too precise or newly manufactured.
Because reclaimed terracotta varies in size, thickness, colour and surface wear, each batch should be selected and dry-laid with care before installation.
