Old World Tiles decorative ceramic tiles are all handmade and hand painted. Many of the authentic designs featured on our tiles date back to 15th century Spain where Portuguese, Italian, Moroccan, Asian & Mediterranean arts converged. Eventually, the Spanish introduced the art form to Mexico where today Talavera artisans are still creating beautiful handmade and hand painted tiles which showcase the exquisite designs of centuries past and lands far away.

What makes Old World Tiles so beautiful and captivating is the fact that each tile has very subtle differences due to the handmade processes. The tiles have a natural antique patina which exudes a warm and inviting feeling. Each decorative tile has a unique charm which machine-made tiles can not replicate.

Whether you are looking for tiles with a distinct Spanish, Mediterranean, Moroccan or Mexican style or perhaps want to have fun creating your own unique pattern using a mix of tiles – Old World has an extensive collection of handcrafted tiles for your needs.

Use them in and around your home to add beautiful colour and style.
