HomeTILESVictorian Quarter TilesInstalling Quarter Tiles   
 
 
We've just built a new gas fireplace display area in our store and thought it would be helpful to show how we used a modern gas fireplace and outfitted it to create a beautiful, period style. We used hand made quarter tiles similar to those popular in the early 1900's and added a Victorian style mantel with mirrored overmantel. (The gas fireplace is a model that's sold only in our retail store).
 

We've built the display, painted the sheetrock and added some wallpaper.


We made a metal pan and laid the tiles in it. The inside opening will fit around the fireplace; the outside dimensions are 2" larger than the opening in the mantel so the mantel can overlap the tile edges.


We've attached the metal pan with the tiles to the wall and are putting the mantel in place.



 
The MOLLY mantel features a mirror with overmantel. The tiles and mantel compliment each other beautifully. 

This new, state-of-the-art gas fireplace with andirons and old red brick style firebox take on a vintage style when combined with the right mantel and surroud, plus a few vintage accessories.
