Reclaimed Cement Tiles CEM 249 with Grey and Cream Quadrilobed Rosette, Mid-Twentieth Century

At the center of each tile, a cream-colored four-lobed rosette stands out against a slate-gray disc, enclosed by a light-colored ring and four corner triangles that, when placed together, create a continuous floor pattern of circles and lozenges. The CEM 249 cement tiles, reclaimed in Lucca and dating back to the mid-twentieth century, measure 20x20 cm with a thickness of 2 cm and are available in 90 pieces, covering an area of 3.60 sqm.

Features and Highlights

• Dimensions and Availability: 20x20 cm | Thickness 2 cm | 90 pieces – 3.60 sqm
• Authenticity and Era: Original reclaimed cement tiles, sourced from Lucca, mid-twentieth century.
• Material and Finish: Two-tone slate-gray and cream cement tile, featuring a central four-lobed rosette inscribed in a circle with corner triangles; matte surface with a soft, uniform patina.
• Condition: Excellent condition, with consistent patterns and well-defined contours on all pieces.
• Maintenance: For regular cleaning, a slightly damp microfiber cloth and diluted neutral detergent are better than buckets of water: cement tiles absorb moisture and dry better if they are not flooded. Avoid acids, ammonia, and descaling agents.

Intended Use
