Genuine Clinker Bricks
A clinker brick is one which was discarded because it was discolored or distorted. In the 1920’s, leaders of the Arts and Crafts design movement rediscovered its possibilities for creative and dramatic architectural detailing. We have a stunning selection of unique clinker bricks for sale.
Old Pasadena Clinkers
This collection offers clinker bricks for sale in the red color family, some with black marks from overheating. Their distorted and twisted shapes invite show-stopping, freeform installations that will set your property apart from all others. Clinker “clumps” are also available to coordinate with the individual bricks.
Tudor Clinkers
Darker tones and black burn marks and jagged remnants characterize the Tudor collection of clinker bricks, giving them an understated dignity. These brick styles for homes are often seen in the great Tudor style homes of the East Coast. A great choice to blend with existing wood or stonework and landscaping.
Historical Genuine Clinker Bricks
The eccentric, irregular shapes and colors of clinker bricks appealed to the Arts and Crafts aesthetic which was rebelling against the takeover of soulless, machine-made uniformity. The name “clinker” comes from the sound they make when banged together, being heavier than regular building bricks. We will be delighted to help you with custom matching for your Craftsman house restoration or new build, so when you buy bricks they will already match your project. We also ship nationwide direct to your job site. When you buy reclaimed bricks from Historical Bricks, you know you’re getting something special. Our reclaimed bricks for homes are great for increasing curb appeal
