Who We Are
A gallery built on obsession with craft
Founded in 2006, The Tile Gallery began as a small importing studio in London's East End. Our founder Isabelle Fontaine spent years travelling through Morocco, Portugal, Italy and Mexico — documenting disappearing tile-making traditions and building relationships with the artisans keeping them alive.
Today we are one of the UK's most respected sources for premium handmade tiles — trusted by interior designers, architects and discerning homeowners who refuse to compromise on quality or authenticity.
"A tile is not decoration. It is architecture you can touch."
— Isabelle Fontaine, Founder
Our Work in Spaces
Floors. Walls. Kitchens. Baths.
