It turns out Delft is not just for tile. Read my latest blog on how designer Nicolette Mayer brought to market through Scalamandré's metallic grass cloth, pearlescent wallpaper and fine Belgian linen, 365-year-old patterns from the Royal Delft Company.
Questioning my love for Delft tiles brought me back to childhood, a visit to Amsterdam this past summer and a psychological perspective for the color blue. Historically undeniable, antique Delft tiles have graced rooms in the grandest châteaux to the most humble countryside farmhouses - not without it's 17th century charm of idyllic Amsterdam living during it's Golden Age. Rethink that ubiquitous white subway tile - and give art and history a chance in your home.
