A Decorative Glazed Wall Tile Collection that Evokes English Country Interiors

Geometric designs have bedazzled our eyes for centuries.  Found on fabrics, tapestries and flooring throughout history - each culture's influence on historical decorative designs makes an indelible mark on the succeeding generation's interior arts.  Not lost on the English, 14th century medieval castles and churches are a hall mark for decorative tiles - namely encaustic tiles. Floor and wall coverings laid with patterned tiles served two purposes - to cover mud floors and to show wealth. One sees these designs repeated endlessly today.  Emmi Micallef, being drawn to these historic and transcendent motifs, has hand painted a wall tile collection inspired by museum pieces of 14th century England.  She chose a warm grey glaze color that works beautifully with reclaimed French limestone flooring, French oak wood flooring and reclaimed French terra cotta tiles.  As a kitchen backsplash, fireplace surround, powder room or master bath, the geometric soft patterns heighten the artistry and historic authenticity of an interior.
