BASIL Antique Cement Tile-Effect Tiles

BASIL Vintage Cement Tile Effect Flooring

Inspired by the historic floors of 19th-century mansions and apartment buildings, this porcelain stoneware tile faithfully reproduces the aesthetic of medieval-Arabesque patterned cement tiles that once adorned the vestibules, hallways, and kitchens of popular and bourgeois interiors.

Its four-petal rosette pattern, articulated around stylized star flowers and arabesque volutes, creates a dense, hypnotic, and visually profound design. Laid fully, it creates a continuous floor effect similar to true vintage cement tiles, with all their changing chromatic nuances depending on the light.

The coordinated frieze with floral rinceaux and geometric Greek meanders allows for the creation of elegant floor rug frames or borders, in the purest tradition of Haussmannian floors.

The depth of vintage tile, in a palette with strong character

Its muted color palette of slate gray, powdered blue, tobacco brown, and cream ivory gives it a strong character and remarkable versatility. Equally at home in a stately home vestibule, an industrial-vintage kitchen, a bathroom with strong character, or a refined dining space, it brings an authentic presence and a rare soul to all types of projects.
