Description

Ovolo Ornament from the Classical Orders

A 152 x 65mm relief-moulded ceramic border carrying the classical egg-and-dart enrichment, in a warm leaf green: the Artworks Palm Green Egg & Dart Moulding, from Hyperion Tiles, your official Original Style stockist.

Few ornaments have travelled further. The alternating ovoid and pointed dart began life on the ovolo mouldings of Greek and Roman architecture, passed through the pattern books of the eighteenth century, and by the Victorian period was cut into joinery, run in plaster and pressed into ceramic without anybody thinking it exotic. Here it is modelled across a 65mm face — substantial enough to hold its rhythm at a distance, and shallower than the deepest pieces in the range, so it can be used where a full cornice would overwhelm. It is boxed four to 0.6 linear metres at 6.6 pieces per metre, so a 3.6 metre band comes to 24 pieces, or six boxes.

A repeating relief and a leaf green suit one another particularly well. Glaze always pools where the surface falls away, so each hollow between egg and dart holds a thicker, darker film that tends towards a deep fern, while the rounded crowns keep the glaze thin, pale and bright — the pattern comes forward as light and shade in foliage rather than as an outline. Run it as a band above a splashback, along the top of a half-height run in a cloakroom, or at mid-wall height in a garden room where the repeat can be read across the whole length of a wall.

Installation & care

Installation & care

  • Adhesive & Grout: A white flexible adhesive is the only sensible choice here, as grey will read up through the thinner glaze on the crowns and mute them. Grout in a soft stone, a warm off-white or a pale green-grey, and keep it to the vertical joints — grout worked into the hollows between the eggs and darts flattens the very shadows that carry the pattern, so sponge the face clean before it starts to set. Two tones to reject outright: brilliant white, which rules the wall into a hard grid and takes the green towards the institutional, and any cool or blue-grey, which sits against the warmth of this glaze and leaves it looking dull and gone-over.
  • Layout: The repeat is the thing to plan around. Dry-lay the run first and centre the pattern on the wall, over a window or above a basin, so the band finishes symmetrically rather than with a half egg at one end. Where a cut is unavoidable, take it at the end that sits furthest from the eye and remember the exposed biscuit is pale, so it will show as a light line.
  • Cleaning: The gloss glaze is non-porous and needs no sealing. Wipe with warm water and a mild detergent; avoid abrasive pads and acidic limescale removers, which will dull the surface over time.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

Can Artworks Palm Green tiles be used in a shower or wet room?

Yes. Artworks is specified for both wet and dry wall areas, so Palm Green is at home in a shower enclosure, a wet room or around a bath. The background must be sound, dry and properly tanked, with a flexible waterproof adhesive and grout throughout the wet zone. Wet, the glaze deepens and the leaf green goes richer and a shade darker, closer to a wet fern than to its dry colour — then dries back lighter again.

Can I use Artworks Palm Green on the floor?

No. Artworks is a wall tile range only. The glaze is not rated for foot traffic and would scratch and dull quickly underfoot, and a gloss surface of this kind is slippery when wet. A warm green wall sits particularly well above a terracotta or buff quarry floor, or a black and white geometric. Call 01344 620211 and we will suggest a floor to go under it.

Will every Palm Green tile be exactly the same shade?

There is slight variation between production batches, and green shows it more than most colours because the eye picks up a small shift towards yellow or towards grey very readily. Order the whole quantity for a room at once, including your wastage allowance, and mix tiles from several boxes as you set out rather than working box by box. If you need to add to existing tiling later, send us a photograph and we will tell you honestly how close a current batch is likely to be.

What adhesive and grout colour should I use with Palm Green?

Use a white flexible adhesive — a grey adhesive can shadow through the glaze and dull it. For grout, keep it warm and close in tone: a soft stone, a warm off-white or a pale green-grey. Two to avoid. A brilliant white draws a hard grid across the wall and is what tips any green towards looking institutional rather than domestic. And a cool or blue-grey grout fights the warmth in this particular green and leaves it looking gone-over and tired. Warm, quiet, and only a shade or two off the tile.

Is Palm Green in stock, and how quickly can it be delivered?

Palm Green is usually held in stock across the range, field and half tiles and the full set of mouldings alike. We will confirm availability and a delivery date for your exact quantity when you order, and UK delivery is free on orders over £1,000. If a piece is temporarily out we will tell you the lead time before you commit rather than after. Call 01344 620211 or visit us at 67 High Street, Ascot.

How does Palm Green compare with the other Artworks colours, and with Jade Breeze?

Artworks offers two soft greens and they are not interchangeable. Palm Green is the warmer of the pair — a leaf green with yellow in it, botanical rather than mineral, and it stays warm under lamplight. Jade Breeze is the cooler one, a sage with a blue-green cast that reads crisper and more Deco. Warm woods, brass and terracotta belong with Palm Green; chrome and black suit Jade Breeze better. They are close enough on a screen to be genuinely hard to tell apart, so order a sample of each and look at them together in your own room before you decide.

Can I see a sample before I order?

Yes. Cut samples are free to collect from our Ascot showroom, or we can post one to you for the cost of postage. Seeing the glaze in your own light is the surest way to judge how it will sit against your paint, stone and metalwork.

How much extra should I order for cuts and wastage?

As a guide, add around 10% to your measured area for cuts and breakages, and nearer 15% for a herringbone, diagonal or brick-bond layout. It is also worth keeping a few spare tiles from the same batch in case a repair is ever needed.

Which pieces are available in Artworks Palm Green?

Fifteen pieces: the 152 x 152mm field tile, the 152 x 76mm half tile, a skirting tile, a plain cornice, an external corner trim, and ten mouldings — Victoria, Egg & Dart, Dentil, Hogarth, Albert, Rope, Astragal, Scroll, Sigma and Omega. Palm Green does not include a large brick tile, bevelled metro tiles, relief-moulded decorative tiles, handed corner pieces, an internal corner trim, wrapping pieces or rounded-edge tiles. Everything is sold by the box.
