This polychrome fleur de lys tile uses a repeating hexagonal format with warm Burnt Umber hand cut and inlaid into Yellow Sandstone. The heraldic motifs stand clearly against the ochre field while natural tonal and mineral variation remains visible across the hexagons.

Two fleur de lys forms alternate. One is slender and upright, the other fuller and broader. Their changing scale creates a secondary rhythm within the hexagonal grid, so the pattern reads both as a field of emblems and a continuous pavement. Various stone combinations are available, allowing motif and ground contrast to be reconsidered for a project.

Polychrome Fleur de Lys Tile in Warm Stone

The combination of deep umber and golden sandstone changes the character of the heraldic device. Rather than the sharp black-and-white contrast of its companion, this version reads warmer and more archaeological. Subtle differences from one stone piece to the next soften the strict geometry and are best assessed across several modules.

The monochrome Fleur de Lys hexagonal tiles provide the closest comparison in cooler black and white stone. The Floral Cabochon in Black Marble, Yellow Sandstone and Brass uses yellow sandstone in a larger circular motif. De Ferranti’s Pavements collection offers further references for patterned stone floors.

Planning a Heraldic Hexagonal Field

Set out the polychrome fleur de lys tile before fixing so the two motifs alternate correctly and the hexagonal grid meets walls, thresholds and focal points cleanly. Review the Yellow Sandstone and Burnt Umber together under the final lighting because their warmth can shift with daylight and artificial sources. Confirm the intended substrate, joint width, sealing regime and exact interior application before specification. Where a different stone combination is being considered, approve representative samples before production.
