At Historic Decorative Materials, the Olde English Glazed Wall Tile Collection recalls the strength and symbolism of Gothic England. Each tile is hand-pressed with heraldic designs in earth tones, kiln-fired and then indivdually hand-crazed. This antiquing process recreates a reclaimed porcelain surface that is a hallmark of antique decorative tiles. This collection reinterprets 14th-century encaustic artistry for period and traditional interiors—ideal for fireplace surrounds and heritage-inspired kitchens—where authenticity and architectural integrity define timeless design and period architecture.
