Dazzling in bold color and variety in design, a resurgence in the popularity of Art Nouveau tiles is happening. This is, in part, because tiles installed over a 100 years ago remain striking decorative elements in both residences and public buildings. Despite over a 100 years of use, these tiles retain their original color and beauty while that around them suffers.
This book, which will be enjoyed by all, has vivid color photographs of over 600 designs. Useful and beautiful, this collectors' guide provides information about tile manufacturers such as W & E Corn Brothers, Craven Dunhill & Company, Gibbons Hinton & Company, Lee & Boulton, Rhodes Tuke Company, Marsden Tile Company, Mintons China Works, and many others. Organized by company and design with a guide to market prices, as well as tips and suggestions for collectors.
Art Nouveau Tiles fills a gap in tile books now available. It presents the largest collection of Art Nouveau images ever published, as well as a concise introduction to tiles and collecting. Research sources for more detailed study are provided in the bibliography and a guide to organizations dedicated to tile preservation and collection is included.
