Mexican Tiles "San Felipe"

Product Description

Mexican Tile "San Felipe" is a lively border tile rooted in the centuries-old Talavera tradition. Its intricate floral design blends vivid colors with Moorish-inspired symmetry to create a dynamic and continuous pattern when installed in series. A golden yellow swirl anchors the center, framed by leafy green petals and cobalt brush accents that radiate outward from each corner. The interplay of warm orange centers, sky blue scrollwork, and tulip-like flourishes enhances the composition, balancing contrast with harmony.

This border tile’s layout evolves as it repeats—forming a fluid ribbon of botanical rhythm that feels both classic and festive. The layered background, alternating between rich blue and white, intensifies the brightness of each element, while subtle red-orange touches bring warmth to the overall palette. Its decorative scrolls and organic shapes are especially striking in transitional spaces like stair risers, mirror frames, or kitchen backsplashes.
