Uncanny how this reclaimed French terra cotta tile lot holds colors of the city in which it was salvaged.  Located on the River Clain in west-central France, it is a city of art and history that has deep historical roots from the Celts to the Romans.  Known as the "Ville aux cent clochers" - the town of 100 bells - this is an historic and picturesque city.  We salvaged this lot from a dilapidated store front that was through the centuries various establishments - two being an apothecary and une librarie - or bookstore.  A square French reclaimed terra cotta tile, the surface has a wonderfully smooth patina from the centuries of wear and the color of the terra cotta tile is a wonderful mix of stone gray, powder blush, terra cotta and sand - truly mirroring the roof top hues of Poitiers.
