Inspired by the ornamental traditions of 16th-century Italian Renaissance architecture, Principe Gabriele is a hand-painted blue and white decorative ceramic wall tile featuring an original design by Emmi Micallef, co-founder of Historic Decorative Materials. Its intricate Renaissance-inspired motif, rendered in rich Florentine Midnight Blue against a choice of Historic White or Vintage Warm White, recalls the artistry and architectural refinement of historic Italian villas, palazzi, and ecclesiastical interiors.
The distinctive contrast of deep blue ornamentation against a softly luminous white field brings classical elegance and architectural character to kitchen backsplashes, bathroom walls, fireplace surrounds, and decorative wall installations. Designed for both historic restorations and homes built today, Principe Gabriele combines traditional Italian decorative artistry with the enduring appeal of handcrafted European ceramic tiles.
Historic White: A refined warm white with a crisp, luminous appearance. Softer than a cool blue-white, Historic White retains the clarity of a true white, creating a fresh, defined contrast with the Florentine Midnight Blue decorative glaze.
Vintage Warm White: Our warmest white, with a softened, timeworn character that harmonizes beautifully with historic and reclaimed architectural materials. Particularly complementary to antiqued French limestone flooring, Belgian bluestone, antique cement tiles, French oak flooring, and reclaimed French terra cotta tiles, Vintage Warm White brings warmth and cohesion to traditional European interiors.
