Woven bands form a star inside a circle on each of these Celtic home decor tiles, with knotted points tucked into all four corners. The design, the Woven Star Circle Knot, is detailed up close but calm from across a room, so it works scattered as accents or set as a full field.
Details
- Material: solid brass sheet about 1 mm thick, embossed by hand over a hand-punched ground
- Finish: aged bronze patina, sealed with wax
- Size: each tile is 10 x 10 cm (3.9 x 3.9 in)
- Depth: 6 mm, with a raised rim around each tile; the back is hollow and has a small hanger
- Comes as: sets of 30, 45 or 60 tiles, all in this one design
- Handmade: each piece is embossed to order, so relief and patina vary slightly from the photos
Sizes and coverage
Choose a quantity from the Set menu. Each tile covers 0.01 m² (0.11 sq ft), with tiles butted together.
- 30 tiles: 0.30 m² (3.2 sq ft), e.g. 6 x 5 tiles = 60 x 50 cm
- 45 tiles: 0.45 m² (4.8 sq ft), e.g. 9 x 5 tiles = 90 x 50 cm
- 60 tiles: 0.60 m² (6.5 sq ft), e.g. 10 x 6 tiles = 100 x 60 cm
The tiles cannot be cut, so plan the layout around whole tiles. A row of ten tiles runs 100 cm (39.4 in).
Where to use it
- Accent tiles dotted through a plain kitchen backsplash
- A border around a fireplace surround or along the hearth
- A grid of tiles above a desk, sofa or console
- A small backsplash behind a coffee station or bar
- Glued into cabinet doors, drawer fronts, trays or a tabletop
Installing and care
As tile, back-fill each piece with tile adhesive and press it onto a flat, clean wall, then grout or caulk when the adhesive has set. To use one as wall art, hang it from the small hanger on its back. Behind a cooktop, leave the clearance your cooktop maker asks for. Tiles cannot be cut, so work out the layout in whole tiles first. Clean with a soft, damp cloth and dry it off; scouring pads and harsh cleaners will wear through the patina.
