A Jewel in the Floor: Small Foundry Cabochon Inset

A decorative cast-metal accent to punctuate a tiled scheme - the Small Foundry Cabochon inset from Hyperion Tiles, your official Fired Earth stockist.

Cast from solid white bronze and hand-finished, the Small Foundry Cabochon carries a domed, jewel-like motif with genuine weight and a soft, reflective sheen. Set among plain field tiles, it lends real craft and quiet luxury to a floor, a splashback or a run of wall - a small detail that rewards a second look.

Each 5 x 5cm piece is solid cast metal, hard-wearing and designed to mellow gracefully with use. Sold individually, so you can place a single accent or scatter several through a scheme.

Installation & care

Installation & care

  • Fixing: Set the inset flush with the surrounding field tiles using a suitable flexible adhesive, matching the bed depth to your chosen tiles for a level finish.
  • Layout Options: Use a single inset as a focal point, or space several on a regular grid to create rhythm across a floor or wall.
  • Cleaning: Wipe with a soft, dry or barely-damp cloth. No sealing is required; an occasional wax or lacquer can be applied if you wish to preserve the original sheen.
Samples

Tone, glaze and veining all read differently in your own light. Cut samples are free — sample postage is £4.99 (£8 for Original Style) and we refund it on tile orders over £50 with the code we email you. Our family-run team is happy to check quantities and finishes with you on 01344 620211.

Delivery

In-stock orders are dispatched within 3–5 working days, with express options available. Special-order and made-to-order ranges carry their own lead time, shown on the product page and confirmed when you order. Pallet, slab, large-format and bathware orders travel on a specialist off-load service — we confirm the timescale and book a date that suits you before dispatch.

Delivery is calculated at checkout from your order and postcode (we do not offer showroom collection) and UK delivery is free on orders over £1,000 on most ranges. For pallet deliveries please tell us about access issues in advance — low trees or bridges, narrow roads or gateways, gravel drives, or no turning or unloading space — as a re-delivery charge may apply if we cannot complete delivery.

When your order arrives

Please check your delivery as soon as it arrives. Once goods are unloaded they become the responsibility of the receiver, so if anything isn’t right, contact us within three working days and we’ll put it right quickly.

Returns

Unused, complete orders can be returned within 14 days of delivery; as tiles are picked and packed to your quantity, a restocking fee of 20–30% applies depending on the range. Fired Earth ranges are returned through Fired Earth’s own returns process, and special-order items are non-returnable unless damaged on delivery or faulty. Ordering a free sample first is the simplest way to avoid a return.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

What are Small Foundry insets made from?

Each Small Foundry piece is cast from solid metal and hand-finished, creating a decorative inset with genuine weight and a soft, reflective sheen. They are made to punctuate a tiled scheme rather than to cover large areas.

How are Small Foundry insets used?

They are set among field tiles as accents, scattered across a floor, framing a splashback or adding rhythm to a wall. Each piece is sold individually, so you can space them exactly as your design requires.

Do Small Foundry insets need sealing?

No sealing is required. The cast-metal surface will mellow gently over time; an occasional wax or lacquer can be applied if you prefer to preserve the original finish.

Can I order a sample or get advice?

As an official Fired Earth stockist, our Ascot showroom team is happy to help you see and specify these decorative insets. Contact us for guidance on quantities and layout.
