Hand-painted English Gothic ceramic wall tile inspired by 14th-century encaustic tile traditions, the Oak Leaf Compass is an original decorative design within the Carriage House Collection by Historic Decorative Materials. Combining the symbolism of the oak leaf with the balanced geometry of a compass motif, this design reflects the botanical ornament and geometric traditions of medieval English decorative arts.
Originally interpreted and painted by Emmi Micallef, co-founder of Historic Decorative Materials, the Oak Leaf Compass motif is rendered in Medieval Grey, a muted warm grey, against a Vintage Warm White ceramic field. Each tile is individually hand-painted and kiln-fired, with a delicately crackled glaze that recalls the aged surfaces of historic English decorative ceramics.
The Oak Leaf Compass lends itself to repeating geometric installations or individual decorative accents. Coordinating with the Carriage House Collection's heraldic motifs, borders, and moldings, these English Gothic ceramic wall tiles are suited to fireplace surrounds, kitchen backsplashes, bathroom walls, and architectural tile panels. Their warm grey and antiqued white palette complements reclaimed French oak flooring, antiqued limestone, Belgian bluestone, and interiors inspired by historic English country houses.
