| Partial selection of antique tiles- NYC Pier Show |
"What do people do with these?" is the second most asked question. The questioner has happened upon our display and is dazzled by design and color. He/She has probably never seen antique tiles in such a mass before and wants to know more.
The uses are as varied as the tiles and those that choose them. Antique tiles are practical as well as beautiful. Tiles are easily cleaned and will not fade in the sun or be harmed by heat or moisture. This makes them ideal for showers, bathrooms, and kitchen back splashes, perhaps their most frequent use. Your combination of antique tiles can transform even the most upscale custom space into a truly one-of-a-kind masterpiece!

Tiles can be framed and incorporated into your wall art and or collections. You can tuck them into a bookcase or easel them onto a tabletop. Antique tiles can cover your radiator or sit on your stove awaiting your messy cooking spoon.

Tiles placed on stair risers changes the practical into an artistic delight. Fireplaces, Mantles and hearths also become a focal point with the choice application of tiles.

Antique tiles add lots of interest wherever they are used. Whether one tile or many, antique tiles add interest and beauty. Let your own creativity guide you to discover a perfect place for your antique tiles!
Oh, and the first most asked question? "Do you make these yourself?" Some days, especially after lugging tile boxes, I actually feel old enough to answer, "Yes!"
