Why we do what we do
Our inspiration comes from a desire to preserve the heritage of authentic American tilework. This craft was commonly represented in period homes and commercial construction of the late 1800’s through the pre-war era. Subway tile was first found predominantly in the train stations of New York city and eventually found its way into homes and public spaces.
This collection is appropriately named Subway Ceramics.
We believe that providing authentic tilework representative of this era provides our clients with unique access to the materials that would have been original to their spaces. We use contemporary methods to accurately recreate tile with historical significance and a vintage quality that is seldom seen today.
Made in America, our tile offers attention to architectural detail with classic mouldings and trim pieces, ceramic accessories and custom mosaics that create unique, refined interiors representing a wide variety of aesthetics.
