{"product_id":"untitled-medieval-floor-tile-with-floral-motif-fine-art-print","title":"Untitled (Medieval Floor Tile with Floral Motif) - Fine Art Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed study of a medieval lead-glazed earthenware floor tile, featuring a central floral medallion and geometric incised patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis image depicts a single medieval floor tile, likely originating from a monastic or ecclesiastical site in England. The object is crafted from earthenware and finished with a lead glaze, a technique common in the production of decorative pavements during the Middle Ages. The surface displays a central diamond motif containing a stylised floral element, framed by incised lines that have been filled with a green-tinted glaze. The corners of the tile feature leaf-like sprigs, creating a balanced, geometric arrangement intended to form a larger repeating pattern when laid in a sequence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aesthetic reflects the functional yet decorative nature of medieval interior design. The warm, ochre tones of the clay body contrast with the darker brown slip used for the stamped design, while the green glaze adds a distinct colour variation. Over centuries, the glaze has developed a fine network of cracks, known as crazing, which provides a tactile quality to the surface. Such tiles were often produced in large quantities for the floors of cathedrals and abbeys, where they served as durable, low-cost alternatives to imported stone mosaics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis print captures the weathered texture and historical character of the original ceramic. The composition is strictly ornamental, prioritising symmetry and repetition. It offers a glimpse into the material culture of the period, where even utilitarian items were subject to careful design. The tile is presented here as a study in historical pattern, suitable for those interested in the evolution of interior decoration and the history of ceramics. The image maintains the integrity of the original object, including the minor chips and surface irregularities that document its age and use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/window-screen-mashrabiya-fine-art-print\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eWindow Screen (Mashrabiya) - Fine Art Print — Unknown\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/untitled-vignette-various-artists\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eUntitled Vignette - Various Artists — Various Artists\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown Artist","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58975678103887,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58975801311567,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58975801344335,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58975801377103,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58975801409871,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58975801442639,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58975801475407,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58975801508175,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58975801540943,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58975801573711,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58975801606479,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58975801639247,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Untitled-Medieval-Floor-Tile-with-Floral-Motif-_Poster_CompositorV1_1790869316040.jpg?v=1790870509","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/untitled-medieval-floor-tile-with-floral-motif-fine-art-print","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
