Antique check floor in limestone & red terracotta antique: This traditional French antique reclaimed check stone tiling in limestone was made for a 19th century chateau. This « black & white » check reclaimed stone flooring is in hard Bourgogne-type limestone for the « whites », with Red Antique Terracotta (or equivalent), with authentic worn patina gained over the years. The chateau became a monastery in later years, with the stone floors presumably well scrubbed. Although this job lot is late 19th century, these big square stone tiles correspond to a previous era of Classic red & white limestone with white stone or marble squares used for the floors in French chateaux and manor houses, public buildings and churches.

Also available in smaller size : Antique check floor in slate and limestone (ref. )

The provenance of these antique floors is from a chateau in the nearby Mayenne region built in 1895 in Scottish « Gothic Revival » style by a French industrialist.
