Product Description
Mexican Talavera Arched Relief Border Tile showcases a layered triple-arch composition framed by bold charcoal outlines and warm brick and amber tones. The sculpted arches create architectural depth, while the cream background enhances contrast and shadow definition. Designed as a self-contained border element, the pattern resets within each tile, making it ideal for horizontal installations beneath cabinetry, around fireplaces, or along courtyard walls. Its pronounced molded relief and structured symmetry reflect Spanish Colonial and central Mexican Talavera heritage. Order today to introduce architectural rhythm and dimensional color to your project.
