ANCIENT CERAMIC TILES: VENEZIA
The same kind of
elements we can find in the very famous floor of Annunziata
Chapel in San Sebastiano church in Venice.
This floor, dated 1510, is made out of 383 square tiles,
each independent from the other, and a bigger motif in the
middle with the crest of the Lando Family.
The decorative scheme of each single tile consists in a
central circular medallion with a frame, of which we find 30
variations (peacock, a squame, a meandro, a fiammanti etc.).
Each tile then is characterized by an unifying element: the
angular yellow/orange flower.
The subjects are classified in about twenty groups in
relation to the decorations: amatory (passionate heart,
tight hands), with inscriptions, figurative, a scacchiera
(like a chess-board), with gothic-floreal motifs, with
grotesques, with trophies, with musical instruments, etc.
Our
Italian Ceramic Tiles are imported from Deruta, Italy. The
Italian Tiles come in various sizes.
All Tiles must be ordered from the factory in Deruta,
Italy.
Allow 6-8 weeks for delivery.
