More information
Hispano-Moresque tiles produced in 17th-century Seville are among the most recognisable achievements of Spanish ceramic art. The city’s workshops blended Andalusian Islamic design with the decorative tastes of the Baroque, creating tiles distinguished by their tin-glazed surfaces, crisp cobalt detailing and disciplined geometric patterns.
Used in churches, civic buildings and elite residences, these tiles brought strong visual impact to early modern interiors. Well-preserved examples are highly sought after today for their distinctive style and their importance within Seville’s celebrated ceramic tradition.
