Looking for a Vestibule Tile Floor

Hi all, I’m looking to restore or replace my vestibule floor which is missing a lot of tile!
If you have or know someone who has any info I’d be very interested.
Thanks! [20170227_111616](//muut.com/u/brownstoner/s3/:brownstoner:KWao:20170227_111616.jpg.jpg)

I’m close to making a smaller size version of this design using the remaining tiles in a similar pattern, I’m just short a few plain tiles of each shape so this may work out.
If anyone has any remnants let me know, I would love to make this work.
Thanks

Thanks so much Jazzboy, that looks like a great place. Checking it out right now!

I’m just seeing this thread. I have encaustic tile in my Bed-Stuy townhouse. It’s 1/4” thick, difficult to replace, but I found a place down south, who has a lot of the original molds(moulds?) and the correct colors and patterns as well. I kept the tiles that were salvageable, and bought a bunch of replacements. Having someone rebuild it tile by tile was the real pricey bit, but I’ve got a guy for that too. Two years later no one can tell the difference. Good Luck.

That’s what I’m guessing, the style is very close to the original and of course in perfect condition! Thanks

Resident is right. Even if it’s expensive, it’s money well spent. What’s the most it can cost? $5k?

As it is just for a vestibule; it is actually not that expensive. It is the shipping that costs the money.
So either take a trip to London & pick some up & two people can haul it back in their hand luggage, just make sure no-one actually weighs it!
Or just pay for the shipping. It will make a huge difference to your entrance!

I was going to say it’s probably expensive, haha.

I have their catalog and its gorgeous stuff.
I believe its very expensive since its imported but its so beautiful.

I was looking for similar tile recently. With that much tile missing, you should just replace in a similar style. I found these guys after a ton of a research. Send a picture and see what they say: https://www.londonmosaic.com/gallery-victorian-and-modern-mosiac-tiling.htm#!tag=all&page=1
