Marlborough Tiles
Our collaboration with Marlborough Tiles brings together craftsmanship and timeless design in two versatile collections of hand-painted tiles.
The White Hart Delft Tiles
Debuting at WOW!house 2025, The White Hart Collection draws on the quiet beauty of the Cotswolds – home to the Sims Hilditch studio. Each hand-painted Delft tile captures a seasonal moment in our studio through four delicate motifs; Tulip, Wild Strawberry, Oak Leaf, and Mistletoe.
Hand painted using the Majolica technique in a rich Delft blue on a rustic terracotta base, the collection brings depth and British character to both classic and contemporary spaces. The White Hart Collection is available in Antique White and Chalk White.
The Ana
The Ana Collection is inspired by the Mediterranean's rich ceramic heritage. The idea for the Ana tile was born after a trip to the Amalfi Coast undertaken by our Founder and Creative Director Emma Sims-Hilditch and Marlborough Tiles' Managing Director Jamie Robb. They were inspired by the abundance of vibrant tiles that can be found throughout Anacapri and resolved to create something similar which would work well not just in the Mediterranean - but in the UK.
Together, we created a soft palette of five colours that would work well in the UK's northern light. These include Powder Blue, Amber, Burnt Orange, Charcoal and Thyme. The subtlety of these shades means that they look great in a range of spaces within the home.
Crafted With Care
Marlborough Tiles uses a traditional technique called the 'Majolica' method to make their tiles, which requires their artists to train for months to perfect this method of freehand painting. Glaze colours are expertly mixed from a selection of more than fifty pigments and stains to create the exact nuances of shade they are looking for. The design is painted directly onto the unfired glaze of each tile, which makes an enormous difference to the end product because the base glaze and the artist’s work are fired at the same time. This technique not only better integrates layers of colour, but also adds to the fluidity and intensity of the artist’s brush strokes.
We are delighted to have work with Marlborough Tiles on two versatile collections. These tiles work beautifully on walls, and can be used on table-tops, shelves, as a vanity topper or backsplash. Both collections are available now to purchase from Marlborough Tiles.
