A Glimpse into History
Originating from Morocco, Zellige tiles date back to the 10th century, where they adorned the walls, floors, and ceilings of palaces, mosques, and public spaces. The word "Zellige" itself comes from the Arabic word "az-zalīj," meaning "tilework." These tiles are a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Moroccan craftsmanship.
The Art of Craft
Crafting Zellige tiles is a labor-intensive process that requires exceptional skill and precision. Artisans meticulously hand-cut terracotta clay into small geometric shapes, often square or rectangular. These pieces are then glazed with vibrant colors derived from natural minerals such as cobalt, copper, and manganese. The tiles are fired in kilns to achieve their distinctive glossy finish and vibrant hues.
