Price per brick excluding VAT (headers are available to lower the price, see below). Exact quantities to follow. Discounts are given for the full batch or large quantities of halves.

PLEASE NOTE: these are expensive bricks. This reflects not only how scarce and uniquely beautiful they are, but also the enormous amount of labour that goes into them. Because these bricks are extremely soft, they all have to be chiselled apart and cleaned of old mortar in a special way to save as many as possible, a highly specialised and labour-intensive job.

We have, however, kept the headers. These are not fully cleaned of old mortar and cost 60% of the price of a whole brick (2 headers = 1 brick = 60%). For a half-brick cross bond, this lets you bring the price down considerably! In principle, the historical (half-brick) cross bond is 50% headers and 50% stretchers, so the price works out as follows: 1 brick = €2.25 / 2 headers = €1.35, average = €1.80 excluding VAT.

A very attractive batch of genuine original old Dutch Rijnformaat bricks, also known as "rijntjes". These bricks are almost impossible to find anymore, and certainly not in these quantities. It is an exceptionally beautiful mix of light and slightly darker red bricks with a hint of brown here and there. Wonderful warm and authentic nuance!
