Relief Tile "Santander"

Product Description

Relief Tile "Santander" is a rustic-style ceramic tile handcrafted by Rustica House in Mexico. Designed with classical elegance, this relief tile is ideal for kitchen backsplashes, stair risers, and decorative walls. The “Santander” pattern features terracotta and green tones over a rich brown background, offering warmth and heritage to any space.

Its raised design showcases a symmetrical cross formed by deep burgundy oak-leaf shapes, framed by looping scrolls in red-brown tones. Scattered black four-petal blossoms with yellow centers add contrast and fine detail. All elements are outlined in dark contouring, giving the tile a sculpted effect. The golden ochre background recalls sun-aged terracotta and lends a rustic Mediterranean charm to the composition. When installed in repetition, the tiles form a continuous web of richly layered ornamentation that elevates the entire room.
