Archival 16th century Italian decorative motifs are revived through original paintings by Emmi Micallef, co-founder of Historic Decorative Materials and Pavé Tile, Wood & Stone, Inc. Rooted in the design language of the Italian Renaissance, these motifs reflect the ornamental traditions of villas, civic buildings, and ecclesiastical interiors throughout Italy.
Renaissance flourish is thoughtfully disciplined, refining form and line into composed architectural elegance that honors the craftsmanship and decorative heritage of grand Italian palazzi. Each tile is kiln-fired at the Pavé facility in a deep Florentine midnight blue glaze on hand-made ceramic with a subtle, authentic crackle.
Crafted with reverence for historic materials and time-honored methods, this collection preserves the enduring spirit of 16th century Italian artistry for heritage-driven architectural interiors.
