Decorative tiling in an Art Nouveau/ Art Deco building, Lindfield. Without intensive examination I would say that the building is on the cusp of these two styles; however the colours in the tiling make me lean towards Art Deco as I've seen similar in regional buildings that are more clearly part of the great Art Deco building boom in Australia.

View of non-asbestos 1-foot square ceiling tile in room of building with asbestos paper sub-layer between tile and attic space above. The ceiling tiles were each individually nailed in place (not adhered) on a suspended grid of wooden furring strips. Nails were each hidden inside perforation holes. Surface of center tile has been peeled away showing brown, cellulosic, non-asbestos fiber matrix; asbestos paper shows slight yellow aging.

These tiles were hand made in Southern France. Each one was different and I had to grade and select them for an acceptable finish, to try to emulate the skill that went into making them.

The Spanish love their glazed colourful tiles and use them on floors, on walls, inside and outside, made with great Artistry and creativity, they liven up the place and are part of the architecture.

These were 4 flights of stairs, a real eye-teaser.

Standing in front of it, it looked like a tall wall, I asked a model to go and sit on the first landing, free and comfortable, not posed.

I have it with all the steps, but the place was surrounded by palm trees, it was impossible to get a picture without shadow, this was over the midday= the least favourable moment to take a photograph, so I decided to go for a closer comp.

Take care, be safe!

Beautiful, "well-preserved stoves of various sizes and unique forms, decorated with colourful and very original ornaments" are one of the most interesting details of the interior of Karol Scheibler's residence in Łódź. "They are particular masterpieces of the art of ceramics. The tiles were imported among others from a pottery workshop of Seidel in Dresden as well as from a company Villeroy et Boch from Mettlach, which was well-known across Europe."

This is a memorial tile at Ground Zero, New York, to remember the victims of 911. My daughter took this picture while in New York last week.

The tiling of the amphitheater's stage floor was based on a fresco from the ancient city of Tiryns, which featured spirals and papyrus lotus blossoms.
