Handmade Wall & Floor Tiles CRAVEN DUNNILL JACKFIELD LIMITED handmade wall & floor tiles As a world heritage site The Ironbridge Gorge is famous as the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. Few people are aware that just a mile downstream is the small village of Jackfi eld, which in the late 1800’s was the centre of Britain’s ceramic tile industry. Craven Dunnill’s original factory is not only our home today, but also houses the Jackfi eld Tile Museum, the most complete Victorian Tile factory in England. 2001 saw the start of an extensive multi-million pound restoration program to the © Copyright of the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust site. Being situated within the Museum allows us exclusive access to its vast archive. This provides us with the ideal inspiration for a heritage tile range, as well as a bespoke design service for the client wishing to create their own piece of decorative art. Individual hand making allows for an infi nite variety of design ideas. Using the traditional technique of tubelining, together with our large palette of oxide based colours, all sorts of images can be created. We offer a colour matching service, in both wall and fl oor tiles, for those customers wishing to restore an original feature. All tiles are hand made to order allowing fora tailor made service to each and everyone of our customers. We pride ourselves in the faithful manufacture of period style tiles and where possible we employ original machinery, glaze recipes and hand decoration; because of this our tiles retain all the qualities of those from the 19th Century. Victorian Inspired by the spread of the British Empire, many Victorian designers were infl uenced by faraway lands, classical and medieval architecture, while others studied nature. The one element that unifi ed all of these styles was the use of rich deep colours, with a luxurious and sumptuous feel. Our range of embossed and screen printed decors perfectly illustrate the heyday of this industry.
