Full Color Antique

Warm terracotta, toasted orange-red, and rich brick-red clays form the classic base of Full Color Antique of the North Carolina Collection, handsomely interspersed with dark charcoal reduction headers and smoky bronze-brown kiln flashes across the face. The unit features an artisanal, sand-dusted wirecut drag texture sculpted with fine horizontal fissures, delicate pitting, and crisp, square-cut arrises that cast clean, tailored shadow lines while preserving disciplined horizontal coursing alignment across monumental wall expanses. As showcased on multi-story corporate headquarters, extensive residential apartment complexes, medical office centers, and pedestrian retail plazas, it coordinates naturally with smooth white precast concrete panels, light buff limestone banding, dark bronze curtain wall mullions, and clear-anodized commercial glass systems.

Offered in various sizes to give architects complete geometric freedom across project scales and relief bonds, Full Color Antique adapts dynamically through mortar joint specification. Laying the brickwork with an Ivory or bright White mortar produces a sharp, graphic grid that distinctly outlines each unit, pulling dark reduction flashed stretchers, soldier bands, and structural piers into prominent architectural focus; conversely, specifying a standard Gray or warm Buff mortar settles the bed lines, quietly knitting the multi-tonal red, orange, and charcoal faces into an enduring, monolithic masonry field with tailored finish consistency.
