Product story

The Picture-Frame Profile, Drawn Around a Panel

A 152 x 38mm framing moulding with a single sweeping ogee face, finished in deep, near-black green gloss — the Artworks Victorian Green Hogarth Moulding, from Hyperion Tiles, your official Original Style stockist.

The Hogarth takes its name and its section from the gilt picture frames of the eighteenth century: an ogee that rises from a narrow fillet, swells, and rolls over to a rounded outer edge. There is no carved ornament on it anywhere — the entire effect comes from the curve. That is exactly why it is the profile to reach for when a run of tiling needs to be enclosed rather than decorated, and at 38mm it has enough face to hold a boundary without competing with whatever sits inside it.

Framing is its real work. Set a panel of field tiles behind a bath, above a fireplace or across a splashback, run the Hogarth around it and mitre the corners, and the tiling stops looking like an area of wall and starts looking like a deliberate object. The deep glaze gives the curve something a painted timber frame cannot manage: the ogee's double curve turns the light twice across its width, so the frame reads as a drawn line rather than a flat strip of colour. One practical caution — mitres mean cut edges, and on this colour the pale biscuit shows as a bright line rather than a faint one, so cut with a wet saw and dress the arris before fixing.

Installation & care

Installation & care

  • Adhesive & Grout: White flexible adhesive, and a grout chosen to disappear: deep grey, charcoal or a dark green-grey close to the tile's own depth. Brilliant white is the first thing to strike off the list — on a near-black green the contrast is brutal, and a frame is the last place you want a bright joint drawing itself. A mid grey is no compromise either, simply looking tired beside this depth of colour. Sponge the gloss face thoroughly and change the water often, since grout haze lingers visibly on a deep glaze.
  • Layout: Cut the mitres slightly long and offer each corner up dry before any adhesive goes on. A frame is unforgiving of a gap, and the four corners are the first thing anyone looks at.
  • Cleaning: The gloss glaze is non-porous and needs no sealing. Wipe with warm water and a mild detergent; avoid abrasive pads and acidic limescale removers, which will dull the surface over time.
Samples

Tone, glaze and veining can read differently in your own light. Cut samples are free; sample postage is £4.99 (£8 for Original Style) and is refunded on tile orders over £50 using the code emailed with your sample order. Use the sample option in the buying panel, or call our Ascot team on 01344 620211 for help comparing colour, finish and quantities.

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. 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

Can Artworks Victorian Green tiles be used in a shower or wet room?

Yes. Artworks is specified for both wet and dry wall areas, so Victorian Green belongs in a shower enclosure, a wet room or around a bath. The background must be sound, dry and properly tanked, with a flexible waterproof adhesive and grout throughout the wet zone. One practical note on the darkest colour in the range: limescale and soap residue show far more readily on a deep gloss glaze than on a pale one, so a squeegee and a soft cloth will keep a shower in this colour looking as it should.

Can I use Artworks Victorian Green on the floor?

No. Artworks is a wall tile range only. The glaze is not rated for foot traffic and would scratch and dull quickly underfoot, and a gloss surface of this kind is slippery when wet. A deep green wall is best served by a floor with pattern and light in it rather than more darkness — a black and white geometric, an encaustic-look design, or a buff or terracotta quarry. Call 01344 620211 and we will suggest something that lifts it.

Will every Victorian Green tile be exactly the same shade?

There is slight variation between production batches. Deep glazes are the most forgiving in this respect — a small shift reads as depth rather than as a different colour, where the same shift on a pale tile would be obvious. Even so, order the whole quantity for a room at once with your wastage allowance, and mix from several boxes as you set out. If you are adding to existing tiling, send us a photograph and we will give you an honest view.

What adhesive and grout colour should I use with Victorian Green?

White flexible adhesive. For grout, go dark and close: a deep grey, a charcoal or a dark green-grey that sits near the tile's own depth. Two to avoid, and on this colour the first is the most damaging in the whole range. A brilliant white grout against a near-black green is the most extreme contrast Artworks can produce — it draws a stark bright net across the wall and the tile disappears behind its own joints. And a mid grey pleases nobody here: too light to belong, too dark to read as a deliberate contrast, it simply looks tired. Also allow more care than usual sponging off, because grout haze is far more visible on a deep gloss glaze.

Is Victorian Green in stock, and how quickly can it be delivered?

Victorian Green is usually held in stock across the range — field, half, large brick and metro tiles, and the full set of mouldings. We will confirm availability and a delivery date for your exact quantity when you order, and UK delivery is free on orders over £1,000. If a piece is temporarily out we will tell you the lead time before you commit rather than after. Call 01344 620211 or visit us at 67 High Street, Ascot.

How does Victorian Green compare with the other Artworks greens?

There are four, and they run from a tint to a near-black. Victorian Green is the deepest by a clear margin — the only green in the range that behaves like a dark colour rather than a coloured one. Pavilion Green is a saturated mid green, strong but still bright. Palm Green is a soft warm leaf green and Jade Breeze a pale cool sage, both gentle enough to tile a whole room in. If you want a room to feel enclosed, lamplit and considered, this is the one. If you want green as a light background, it is not. Order samples of the four and lay them out together.

Can I see a sample before I order?

Yes. Cut samples are free to collect from our Ascot showroom, or we can post one to you for the cost of postage. Seeing the glaze in your own light is the surest way to judge how it will sit against your paint, stone and metalwork.

How much extra should I order for cuts and wastage?

As a guide, add around 10% to your measured area for cuts and breakages, and nearer 15% for a herringbone, diagonal or brick-bond layout. It is also worth keeping a few spare tiles from the same batch in case a repair is ever needed.

Which pieces are available in Artworks Victorian Green?

Eighteen: the 152 x 152mm field tile, the 152 x 76mm half tile, the 228 x 75mm large brick, bevelled metro tiles at 150 x 75mm and 75 x 75mm, a skirting tile, a plain cornice, an external corner trim, and ten mouldings — Victoria, Egg & Dart, Dentil, Hogarth, Albert, Rope, Astragal, Scroll, Sigma and Omega. Victorian Green does not include handed corner pieces, an internal corner trim, wrapping pieces or rounded-edge tiles. Everything is sold by the box.
