Delft tiles — hand-painted blue & white ceramic tiles inspired by 17th century Dutch museum originals. Created from historic Delft tile motifs and pulled directly from surviving museum pieces, this collection was hand-painted by Emmi Micallef, co-founder of Historic Decorative Materials and Pavé Tile, Wood & Stone, Inc., for a deep devotion to authenticity and historic European design. Each tile is individually hand decorated and kiln fired at the Pavé facility, preserving the artistry and depth of traditional Delft craftsmanship. Beyond geometry, Delft tile patterns retell everyday life in 1700s Amsterdam, when global trade flourished and cultures converged—giving every Delft tile kitchen backsplash not only visual beauty, but a human narrative of centuries past. Delft tile backsplashes pair effortlessly with soft white quartz or natural stone countertops and hand-painted French gray cabinetry. In powder rooms, Delft tiles become luminous alongside reclaimed French terra cotta floors and antique limestone sinks, evoking true Old World European interiors. A Delft tile fireplace further heightens artistry, character, and historic atmosphere—transforming spaces into timeless, story-rich interiors rooted in authentic European heritage.
