CHAPTER 13  •  Olde California

Olde California, brings the rustic warmth of the early California missions and haciendas throughout the Southwest, to any installation. This collection of terra cotta tile is handmade by Jeffrey Court artisans in California, using a time-honored tradition that produces tile reminiscent of another era. The hand-painted Décor tiles and borders perfectly capture the beauty of the Spanish colonial style.

This collection includes floor and wall tiles made of extremely durable terra cotta clays that come in five glazed field colors and a natural, unglazed terra cotta paver. Matching "beefy" antiqued mouldings with designed-in irregularities remain true to the design of handmade tiles from the past and add authenticity to the installation.

Chapter 13 terra cotta tile is suitable for any interior wall application or light duty floor. Powder rooms, hearth surrounds, wine rooms, stair risers, koi ponds, fountains, outdoor kitchens and fireplaces, kitchen backsplashes and tub surrounds are just a few of the possible applications for these beautiful terra cotta tiles.
