Riviera Tiles – "Estello aux Lavandes" – Large ceramic wall mural composition – 12 tiles – Art

Estello aux Lavandes

“Estello aux Lavandes” is a decorative ceramic composition made up of 12 individual tiles (4 × 3), forming a work of about 45 × 60 cm once assembled.

The tiles are delivered separately and are neither glued nor mounted on a support. Each tile is independent, giving the purchaser complete freedom to choose their installation method.

The artwork can be:

- placed directly on a wall, with or without joints depending on the desired look;
- integrated into a splashback or a wall decoration;
- framed;
- or fixed to the support of your choice.

Each tile is carefully protected in an individual pouch before packaging for transport to ensure optimal protection.

Description of the work

This original creation draws on the aesthetics of European Art Nouveau and pays tribute to the gentle landscapes of Provence.

At the center of the composition, a young woman holds a bouquet of lavender, a symbol of serenity, light, and Mediterranean tradition. Her peaceful gaze is surrounded by rich floral ornamentation with flowing lines, characteristic of Art Nouveau. The tones of blue, ivory, lavender, and golden nuances form a harmonious palette that evokes the scented fields of southern France.

Inspired by the major decorative movements of the late 19th century, this work offers a contemporary interpretation where botanical motifs, arabesques, and the circular composition emphasize timeless elegance.

It will naturally find its place in a classic or contemporary interior, bringing a refined and Mediterranean atmosphere.

Manufacturing

Each tile is individually produced in our workshop in France using a high-definition sublimation process on premium matte-finished ceramic.

The pigments are transferred at high temperature and under high pressure to achieve excellent detail, deep colors, and remarkable long-term stability.

Creating a complete composition requires about four hours of work, including decor creation, color adjustments, file preparation, individual pressing of the twelve tiles, and quality control.
