Installation and maintenance

My durable backsplash tiles are 0.2" thick (6 mm) and very easy to install - just like regular tiles, using about 0.18" (3 mm) grout. Moreover, the maintenance is not a problem. Use 1/2 cup of liquid dishwashing detergent and 2 cups of warm water or mild soap solution. Use a soft cloth or rag, not an abrasive sponge, nor a pad. When cleaning the tile's surface, wipe it gently then rinse the cloth or rag with warm water. Wipe the tile's surface until you make sure that any soap or dishwashing detergent residue is removed. Then dry the surface with a soft cloth or a rag.

Step into a realm where craftsmanship reaches its pinnacle and history is interwoven into every grain. Leon, an artisan known for his unparalleled commitment to the art of metalwork, presents a stunning collection that serves as an ode to the storied past and the beauty of handmade art. This offering comprises four exquisitely hand-engraved square tiles, each bearing a fragment of the legendary French 'Fleur De Lis' pattern. When united, they form a majestic, seamless mosaic, echoing tales of old-world charm and sophistication.

This timeless ensemble is available in three signature metals, each with its distinct aura: the rustic allure of copper, the sleek sheen of stainless steel, and the vintage splendor of brass. Every tile begins its journey in Leon's workshop as a blank metallic canvas. Here, the iconic strokes of the fleur de lis are hand-carved with paintaking precision. Post-engraving, a specialized patina is applied, serving dual roles: it deepens the engraved design, adding depth and dimension, and imparts each tile with an antique finish that's characteristic of Leon's unique style. Each of these precious tiles is further shielded by a hand-applied protective wax layer, preserving its beauty against the vagaries of time, moisture, and daily life, making it a perfect fit for kitchen backsplashes, tranquil bathrooms, or even the dynamic outdoors.

**The Fleur De Lis: An Emblem with Epochal Resonance**

From ancient relics to the regal banners of French monarchy, the 'Fleur De Lis', translating to 'lily flower', has remained a pervasive symbol across civilizations and eras. Its genesis, though veiled in antiquity, is believed to have associations with early Mesopotamian and Egyptian cultures before its widespread recognition as a French emblem.

In the heart of France, the fleur de lis became an insignia of royalty, symbolizing purity, divinity, and the celestial connection between the monarch and the divine. Its three-petal design has been the muse of many interpretations, from religious depictions suggesting the Holy Trinity in Christianity to representing the medieval knightly virtues of wisdom, chivalry, and valor.

However, the fleur de lis extends beyond mere symbolism. It is a cultural motif, finding its place in art, heraldry, and architecture. It has been both a beacon of hope during eras of peace and a rallying cry during times of revolution. Its enduring presence speaks of its adaptability and the universal appeal it holds in the hearts of people across epochs and geographies.

By introducing this mosaic into your space, you aren't merely adding a decorative piece. Instead, you're embedding a slice of history, a tale of civilizations, and the handiwork of a master craftsman. With Leon's Fleur De Lis Quartet, every glance at these tiles is a journey — a step back into the annals of time and a reflection on the timeless beauty of handcrafted art.
