One of our best commissions

September 19, 2015

Another bit of publicity for one of the best jobs we’ve done – a Chinoiserie bathroom tile panel.
It would look equally great with a turquoise background and perhaps a few birds in it….

After years of struggling with an expensive shower that never worked properly, we have finally invested in a new one! Bliss.

Medieval Animal Tiles

September 12, 2015September 12, 2015Leave a comment

A job sent out this week for the kitchen of a Medieval manor that’s being restored.
All the animals are based on animals from Medieval illuminations and Elizabethan stump work.
The tiles are 14 cm handmade. I am very happy with them and so is the customer!
