Delft Fireplace - House Forbes Fireplace - House Forbes Brief
Fireplace - House Forbes Brief PDF Print E-mail

Esti: Good evening

We are renovating our Victorian home in Wellington at the moment and as with most renovations the costs keep escalating. Hence I have a very modest request. I have seen under the heading "fireplaces" a fireplace surround with "limited decoration" of Delft style corner patterned tiles. May I request a quotation for 1 square metre of such tiles and an alternative quotation for the same  corner pattern interspersed with the odd single figure tile (perhaps out of existing stock).

I will appreciate hearing from you as soon as is convenient.

Esti: We do plan to tile around a fireplace and I am faxing to you a rough sketch with dimensions written on by our builder, Mr Cinamon. The page is just headed Esti Forbes. Hope that will assist.



Gerrit: I viewed the image that you referred to in the surround around the fireplace:

  • Do you plan to use your tiles around a fireplace as well? If so, please forward accurate dimensions of the area that needs to be tiled, so that I can advise you correctly.
  • Be so kind to send the correct measurements as well, if the intention is to apply the tiles as a backsplash behind a stove.

We are in the process to manufacture Delft tiles to match antique 130 x 130mm tiles for L’Ormarins in Franschoek. It is a huge order and I expect a few hundred tiles as surplus 2nds. If this format will suit your application I may be able to offer it at less 50% of the contract price. I shall update you accordingly and forward some images in the next day or so.

Gillian provided me with some layout options:



Tile:

  • Surplus tiles from a contract that we shall commence this weekend to mimic antique Delft tiles for the prestigious L’Ormarins wine farm.
  • I shall forward a close-up image of the 130mm tiles tomorrow.

Figures:

  • Will possibly be a blend of single and couples.
  • The cost will decrease if you want to use fewer figures.

Size:

  • Mostly 130 x 130mm with some tiles shaped to fit your parameters.


These tiles will be very authentic, but let me know if the cost are still too high and I shall present you with another option on our hand moulded 100 x 100mm tiles, that may be more economical.

Please view this link for a moulded installation at a fireplace


Esti: Thank you for your quote and your very quick response to my request.

I accept the quotation for the surround which includes figure tiles in an amount of R6408.83. My husband immediately volunteered to fetch the tiles when they are ready. If that is problematic let me know and I will deposit the courier amount as well - otherwise Ian will arrive when you let us know that the tiles are ready for collection.


There is no preference regarding the figure tiles - I assume they will all be equally suitable.

Gerrit: Just a quick update – your tiles are firing in the bisque kilns at present and I hope to glaze them next week – I shall confirm completion soon.

Esti: I was glad to hear from you last weekend regarding the progress with the tiles. My husband may be coming out to
Hermanus next week Monday or Tuesday and I thought I should let you know in case the tiles are ready?
