In this joyful collection of handpainted ceramic tiles, French artist Louis Barthélemy captures the energy and vivacity of contemporary Egypt while paying homage to its storied past. Inspired by the ancient frescos and hieroglyphics lining Egypt‚ temples and tombs, along with the work of contemporary French photographer Denis Dailleux, Barthélemy evokes fantastical scenes of elegant figures, frolicking animals and naturalist motifs.
Each design is hand tubelined and hand painted in Stoke, using the same earthenware bases, traditional glazes and techniques as our Hanley tiles so they pair together perfectly. Made to order with no minimums. Handcrafted in England using traditional techniques.
See catalogue for size information.
Ceramic Tile Care: Clean tile surfaces with a non-abrasive, mild and PH neutral cleaner. Neutral cleaners are devoid of acids, caustics, harsh fillers, or abrasives that could scratch the surface of the tile. Do not use abrasive cleaning pads, steel wool, metal brushes or scouring pads as these may scratch the surface of the glaze. Crackled tiles and tiles that will face regular wet use should be sealed after installation and periodically as needed.
