Antique Cementina Frame CEM 245 with Scrollwork Decoration, First Half of the Twentieth Century

Cream-colored scrolls wind across a burgundy background, enclosed by an ochre-yellow scalloped border: this is the pattern of the CEM 245 cement tile frame, salvaged from Central Italy and dating back to the first half of the twentieth century. Each element measures 20x20 cm with a thickness of 2 cm, with an availability of 92 pieces, equal to 20 linear meters, including 8 corner pieces that allow the perimeter to be closed without interrupting the pattern.
