There was a Trent Tile Company in Trenton, New Jersey, USA; it opened as Harris Manufacturing in 1882, was renamed Trent Tile in 1883 and closed in 1939. There was also a less well known Trent Art Tile Company in Swadlincote, Derbyshire; there are some liquidation accounts from 1901 in the National Archive at Kew, one day I will get there! Given I bought the tile from Michael Swann who lives a few miles from Swadlincote, I favour the UK factory as the maker of this example, though I am not aware many tiles from the Swadlincote factory are known.

In Chiloé Island, Chile, traditional houses are entirely covered in wood tiles, measuring aroung 60x10 cm each (aprox. 24x4"). Originally all tiles were straight, but each owner tried to make his home unique by cutting the tiles in different shapes. Different styles emerged, and when shapes alone were not enough, owners started to combine, arrange and paint to create unique styles. The result is a immense variety of wood tiling.
In this collection I tried to show a selection of wood tilings, and I also tried to create a coding for identifying unique tiles and arrangements.
