We are direct-importers of French antique roof-tiles (made between 1800 and 1830) and are very familiar with the importation of antique tiles and outside architecturals (we regularly import several large containers for builders, architects, roofing companies and individual customers). Description: Antique roof tiles from the South of France. These roof tiles were made in early 1800's in the South of France. They were the products of women who created the distinctive tapered shape by folding sheets of clay over their thighs. As the thighs vary naturally, so do these tiles (Each tile varies a little since they are handmade). Material: Terra cotta. Size: about 19''h x about 5 ½'' for the top part & about 7 ½'' for the bottom part , Materiel: Terra cotta Weight: about 4 lb. Around 1-1/2 tiles per square foot (for one layer of tiles) or 150 tiles per roofing square. The price is for a full container of 10,000 tiles and includes shipping from France. Our price is door to door...it includes the cost of the antique tiles, packaging, labor (only in France), shipping from France to customer's location, importation taxes and importation fees (in France & United States), insurance for the shipping...so, the customer is only responsible for the unloading of the container.
