Reclaimed CEM 250 Cement Tiles with Trellis and Eight-Pointed Stars, Mid-Twentieth Century

Wide wine-red bands cross diagonally over a sand-colored background, while an eight-pointed star in shades of wine and antique pink blooms in the center of each square: when laid together, the CEM 250 cement tiles create an elegant continuous trellis pattern. Salvaged in Lucca and dating back to the mid-20th century, they measure 20x20 cm with a thickness of 2 cm and are available in 108 pieces, covering 4.92 sqm.

Features and Strengths

• Dimensions and Availability: 20x20 cm | Thickness 2 cm | 108 pieces – 4.92 sqm
• Authenticity and Period: Original salvaged cement tiles, from Lucca, mid-20th century.
• Material and Finish: Cement tile decorated with wine-red diagonal bands on a sand background and two-tone eight-pointed stars; surface with a warm, uniform patina.
• Condition: Excellent state of preservation, with complete decoration and still intense colors.
• Maintenance: To preserve the warmth of the colors over time, a breathable, specific stain-resistant treatment for cement tiles is useful, to be renewed when water no longer beads on the surface; for daily cleaning, a broom, damp cloth, and neutral detergent are sufficient.
