Mexican Tile "Monterrey"

Product Description

The "Monterrey" Mexican tile is a vivid celebration of form and contrast, uniting the earthy depth of terracotta with bold primary tones and baroque-inspired curves. At the center, a star-like floral rosette in powder blue spreads across a dark cobalt field, framed by stylized orange and green accents that suggest movement and symmetry. Four luminous golden scrolls add dynamic flair to each quadrant, their brightness amplified by the rich red clay background. With its rhythmic layout and hand-painted imperfections, this tile is both a decorative flourish and a nod to Northern Mexican heritage—perfect for rustic interiors, hacienda-style courtyards, or bold kitchen backsplashes.
