Our Heritage and Vision

Historic Decorative Materials was founded by François and Emmi Micallef, whose combined backgrounds in fine art and European architecture shape the heart of the company. François, born and raised in the South of France, personally travels across France, Belgium, England and Italy to source reclaimed French limestone, wide-plank French oak floors, and antique French terra cotta tiles, selecting materials for quality, beauty, authenticity, durability, and historic character.

Emmi Micallef, a fine artist, brings classical painting into architectural design through her line of Delft and decorative tiles, inspired by 17th-century Dutch blue ceramics and Monet’s kitchen tiles in Giverny. Together, they have created one of the most respected collections of European reclaimed flooring and artisanal tiles in North America.

As a husband-and-wife team, they look to classic historic European flooring to recreate authentic stone and wood floors that embody the essence of centuries-old surfaces—rich with layered patina, genuine character, and heirloom-level beauty.
