Product Details

Old-world European elegance radiates from the Merola Tile Kings Star Nero Encaustic 17-5/8 in. x 17-5/8 in. Ceramic Floor and Wall Tile, imported from Spain. Save time and labor spent arranging smaller square tiles and instead install these durable ceramic slabs, which have four 8-3/4 in. squares separated by scored grout lines. The defining feature of this encaustic-inspired tile is the unique, low-sheen glaze in beige tones with centered black stars in each square. Variation throughout each tile mimics an authentic aged appearance. Designed by interior architect and furniture designer Francisco Segarra, this tile is a true reflection of vintage industrial design. Realistic imitations of scuffs and spots that are the marks of well-loved, worn, century-old tile bring rustic charm to your interior. These rustic scuffs and spots convince that this tile is truly aged. There are 9 different variations available that are randomly scattered throughout each case. The scored grout lines can be grouted with the color of your choice, or left un-grouted for a rugged finish.

      Q:How do you recommend finishing the edging if we installed this on our shower walls? Is there bull nose options? If not, do you recommend a certain bull nose trim?
      by|Nov 28, 2022

      Answer This Question

      A:  Bronze or black metal tile trim. I used this around an inlay I placed in my front entryway.

      by|Dec 2, 2022

        A:  This is ceramic so I would caution against using it in showers. You should search for porcelain tile instead. It’s less porous than ceramic. 

        by|Dec 1, 2022

          A:  HI Katie! Thank you for your question! We do not carry a bullnose option for this tile, but you can take a look at all of the trim tiles we do carry and see if there is something you would like to use! https://somertile.com/SearchByKeyword?word=trim Also, you can use a schluter piece, its a metal trim piece you can purchase through Home Depot.If there is anything else we can help you with, please feel free to reach out to our Customer Service Team at 800-963-7652 and we will be happy to assist you!

                Bathroom remodel
                Love how these tiles turned out in my bathroom remodel. The contractor said they were great quality tiles.

                Beautiful and soft underfoot
                This tile exceeded my expectations and created exactly the look I was trying to achieve in my new kitchen. It arrived intact with no damaged tiles and installed beautifully. I love the worn, encaustic look with my white oak cabinets. Also, I am barefoot most of the time, and this tile feels "soft", not course or abrasive. I love looking at it, walking on it, and I get so many compliments. I'm considering other colors for the bathroom remodels.

                    Love this tile so much but thought too busy if I used this alone. So I also went every other with Merola Tile Kings Manhattan. The tile is super durable, with all arriving with none broken. I would highly recommend this tile!

                      I used this to make a hearth for my wood burner and it is gorgeous. I love the pattern and the patina. I'm very happy with the finished results.

                        The tile is beautiful and has a nice patina to it. Sort of an old world-worn look. This is one large tile with 4 smaller ones printed on it. We used a dark gray grout and it looks amazing. The tile has a brownish color where the grout lines are located but the gray completely covered that area. If you are on the fence, go for it!

                          I paired this tile with its contrasting white star on blue tile as part of a master bath remodel and it is stunning. Hefty size and weight that paired well with light grey grout.
                          Beautiful heavy tile!
