Inspired by the historic charm of Alfriston Clergy House, these Alfriston Clergy Ceramic Sea Kale tiles bring a sense of timeless elegance to any space. The first property acquired by the National Trust, Alfriston Clergy House has a storied past that echoes in the design of these tiles.
With a captivating sea kale hue, these tiles feature a unique wallpaper-style pattern that adds depth and character to feature walls and splashbacks. The combination of a satin base and gloss screen print creates a tactile finish that invites touch and admiration.
Crafted from ceramic, these tiles are designed for internal use, making them a refined choice for bathrooms and feature walls. The satin finish enhances their understated elegance, while the artisanal process allows for natural variation, adding to their charm.
Envision these tiles gracing a bathroom or creating a focal point in a living area, where their subtle pattern can be appreciated up close. Their traditional style complements both contemporary and period interiors, offering versatility without compromise.
Please note, due to their handcrafted nature, some misprints are to be expected and are considered part of their unique appeal. These tiles do not require sealing, ensuring they remain a practical yet stylish choice.
