The richly patterned and colored Minton tile floors are one of the most striking features of the extensions of the U.S. Capitol. The tiles were first installed in 1856, when Thomas U. Walter was engaged in the design and construction of vast additions to the building. For the floors, Walter chose encaustic tile for its beauty, durability and sophistication. Patterns and designs formed in the inlaid tiles include geometric patterns such as the Greek key, guilloche and basket weave; floral designs

I think sash windows, Minton tiles, cornices, curvy banisters and big, old doors tick a few Victorian boxes but you can never please everyone! 😆 What tickled me most about this comment was that we don’t even have a carpet runner. Maybe one day we will get there but it’s painted on at the moment! We’re still in the icy grip of winter here so another freezing, slippery day ahead. Thank goodness for big coats and fluffy dressings gowns! 🥶 #victorianrenovation #victorianhouse #oldhouselove #thisol

The roof of the Bethesda terrace arcade in Central Park, New York was installed in 1869, using about 15,000 patterned encaustic tiles made by Minton. Encaustic tiles are made of individual coloured clays which are pressed and fired into the tile to form the design. Over the years, the 50-tonne ceiling weakened and some of the tiles began to deteriorate. The Central Park Conservancy carried out a restoration project with Tunstall-based firm H&R Johnson Tiles, who had taken over Minton Tiles in 19

Ang | Victorian Interiors & Renovation on Instagram: "Believe me when I say… it’s not all parquet floors and Minton tiles ✨🙈 You think you’re just “updating” - a lick of paint here, maybe some new carpets… And then suddenly you’re knee-deep in rubble, holding a very questionable pipe, wondering how this ever passed inspection 🥴 Old house renovations are wild like that.🙈 One minute you’re choosing dreamy paint samples, the next you’re on a first-name basis with your plumber and learning words
