I purchased this tile from the Iznik Tile shop in Istanbul, Turkey. It is very special. The tile was a present to my husband for our 25th anniversary, nearly 25 years ago. Now we are downsizing and selling our treasures. It’s not a sad thing. Our treasures from all over the world have brought us much joy. But now, we treasure, above all, TIME. Time to marvel at this precious orb upon which we live. Time to treasure just being together doing nothing, or more probably, listing vintage fabrics on ebay. At any rate, this beautiful tile needs a new home. These original vintage tiles can fetch well into the thousands. I’m selling for what I paid, plus some value appreciation. If you buy it, may you enjoy it as much as we have.
