AMERICAN ART TILE

Looking for something to collect? I have been fascinated by antique and vintage tile for years. There were over 100 companies throughout America producing tile from 1876 thru 1941. these tiles have become very sought after ranging from the low $100's to the $1,ooo's for a 6" X 6" tile. I have started several of my clients with collections, the idea is not to retile your back-splash but feature your collection like it was art. In the kitchen above we found a nice grouping of different designs and had them mounted in a steel frame. The result is quite the focal point framed in a niche over the range.
