Rebecca Sherman C h a t e a u D o m i n g u e 's extraordinary 19th-century encaustic cement tiles are reclaimed from some of Europe's most beautiful buildings. These tiles were used throughout the 19th century but fell out of favor in the 20th and were replaced by less expensive, less colorful flooring, such as wood and linoleum. The colorful patterned tiles — created by blending cement and marble powder with natural pigments — decorated the floors of fine private homes, chapels, and churches throughout France, Spain, and Italy. One of the most spectacular examples can be seen in the Barcelona residence of Spanish architect Antoni Gaudí — an ongoing inspiration for modern interiors. Chateau Domingue has one of the country's largest collections of reclaimed encaustic cement tiles in myriad colors and patterns. $16 to $18 each, at Chateau Domingue, 3560 W. 12th St., chateaudomingue.com.
