This mesmerizing field of interlocking floral medallions is framed in a double border, giving the set a complete, rug-like appearance. The repeating motif, rooted in Moorish and Andalusian design, symbolizes unity and infinity each tile contributing to a grander geometric harmony. Perfect for large indoor foyers or sunlit garden rooms, Ton 369 brings architectural rhythm and a calming, antique presence. The earthy palette ensures it complements both rustic and refined interiors.
Ton 368 is bold and graphic, drawing inspiration from the Art Deco movement. The crisp diagonals and central diamond forms create an optical illusion that shifts with your gaze. This pattern was historically used in parlors and boutiques to evoke modernity and precision. Today, it fits beautifully in eclectic kitchens, powder rooms, or modernized heritage lofts. The navy and ochre interplay bridges old-world sophistication with a daring contemporary flair.
Radiating warmth and energy, this starburst rosette enclosed in a circle evokes solar symbolism common in Mediterranean and Byzantine design. Ton 370 feels celebratory, its use of golds, whites, and earthy browns make it a natural fit for patios, poolside courtyards, or open kitchens. It’s a design meant to gather energy and light, ideal for spaces where people come together, creating a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere.
This expansive set is a floral dream, echoing ancient courtyard pavings from Ottoman and Persian palaces. Ton 364 features eight-pointed stars and stylized blossoms that rotate with rhythmic symmetry. Each tile becomes a petal in a larger visual garden. The layered border gives the ensemble a carpet-like structure, perfect for grand salons, historical restorations, or large-scale hospitality projects seeking an authentic antique floor. This pattern embodies refinement and ceremonial grandeur.
Strong and directional, Ton 374 displays a circular compass-like pattern in warm terracotta tones. A design once used in early 20th-century civic buildings, it symbolizes orientation, balance, and craftsmanship. The red tones bring warmth and grounding energy ideal for entryways, hallways, or as an accent floor panel in larger spaces. Its restrained geometry makes it versatile while still rich in cultural depth.
Each tile in this curated series from Ancient Surfaces has been lovingly salvaged and carefully preserved. They are more than surface coverings, they are living pieces of Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and European history, waiting to anchor your space in meaning, beauty, and authenticity.
