Looking like part of an ancient temple, these hammered brass briquette tiles are from De Ferranti’s ‘Alchemy’ Collection. The briquettes have a surface of hand-patinated Brass and are bonded to a marine ply base. They can be used on walls or floors. Also available in Bronze, German Silver and Copper, tiles in different metals can be used together to create patterns. Bespoke sizes and finishes are available to order.
Texture I is characterised by an irregular hand-worked surface that breaks up reflection across each rectangular briquette. Warm gold, brown and slightly darker patinated tones remain visible as the light changes, giving a field of tiles more depth than a uniformly polished brass surface. The brick-like module can be used in straightforward offset layouts or incorporated into more deliberate pattern planning.
Within the same collection, Hammered Brass Briquettes – Texture II offers a related but visibly different worked finish, while Hammered Paktong Briquettes shifts the idea into a cooler silver-toned material. De Ferranti’s Metal Surfaces with Texture provides a broader reference for relief-led metal schemes.
Hammered brass briquette tiles respond strongly to lighting direction, so sample review should consider both direct and grazing illumination. Layout planning should address joint rhythm, orientation, thresholds and transitions to adjacent materials. Where the surface is intended for a floor, the complete build-up and installation method should be reviewed for the specific project. For further hand-worked metal techniques, Embossed & Repoussé Relief Work in Metal explores another form of three-dimensional surface treatment.
