Melange Mosaics

A French word meaning “a mixture or a medley,” Mélange perfectly describes this collection of mixed materials with design influences from Morocco, Italy, Spain and France. Zellige Tile, Limestone, Marble and Terracotta combine to breath new life into historic designs from these Mediterranean cultures, blending traditions in a celebration of craftsmanship. Cut and mounted by hand, Mélange tiles radiate an authentic beauty that will elevate any space.

Speical Notes

Variation

Zellige tiles are made entirely by hand in Morocco and each tile will be different from the next. Please expect the following characteristics which are inherent in authentic Zellige tile from Morocco.

• Chips off the surface of the glaze exposing the clay beneath
• Imperfections on the tile face
• Dips in the surface of the tile
• Uneven edging of the tile
• Wide variation in color/shade between tile pieces
• Glaze pooling in areas of a tile
• Lime pops that expose the substrate of the tile
• Thickness variation from piece to piece

Variation between samples and tiles received is possible, as handmade techniques of glazing make shade and color variation an inherent part of the product. Samples received before shipments should be considered indicative of color only.

Vendor will not honor any claims made for these characteristics listed above if claimed as defects.
