Victorian mosaic floor tiles

Have tried searching for this on the web but cant find anything.

Would really like old fashioned vistorian tiles for my entrance vestibule but wouldnt like to pay the costs for a tiler.

Does anyone know if these tiles can be purchased online where they are attached to a net like other mosaic tiles making it easier for me to lay?

Thanks.

    I'm guessing they are quite expensive but look very nice.

    edit: sorry just read you post properly this time these are just normal tiles not attched to a net

    Plenty available, search for encaustic tiles.
    Howver, laying encaustic tiles is not a job to cut your tiling teeth on. They're not cheap, and if you want to do them justice you need to have them laid professionally and the substrate preparation has to be spot on.
    AFAIK they have to be laid individually which is why it's a skilled job.
