Mappa Mundi Tile Panel

Mappa Mundi Tile Panel translates the intricate character of a historic world map into a framed ceramic composition. Two mapped hemispheres, finely drawn coastlines and decorative cartographic details extend across the visible tile grid, while warm ochre, green, blue and rust tones enliven the pale glazed ground.

The map is contained within an ornamented rectangular border, giving the Mappa Mundi Tile Panel the appearance of an old atlas plate or manuscript illustration preserved in ceramic. Individual tile joints remain visible across the design, adding material rhythm without interrupting the geographical imagery.

A Historic World Map in Ceramic

This ceramic world map is particularly suited to library walls, private studies, staircase landings and framed installations where its fine detail can be appreciated at close range. The balanced horizontal format allows the cartographic tile panel to occupy a substantial wall area without feeling visually heavy.

For other surfaces shaped by assembled imagery and historic ornament, explore Mosaics and Cosmati Tiles. A more local interpretation of cartographic imagery can be found in the Map of Britain Panel – Custom Ceramics.

Bespoke Hand-Painted Map Panels

Paris Ceramics specialises in creating the Mappa Mundi Tile Panel and other bespoke hand-painted ceramic panels designed to transform walls, splashbacks and interior features through image, colour and ornament. Starting with a handmade tile base – available with a white crackle glaze or subtle colour-wash backgrounds – each new panel is conceived and painted to order by skilled artists.

These hand-painted ceramic panels provide a narrative tailored to the character of a space. From neo-classical symmetry and mediaeval motifs to pastoral scenes and playful naïve styles, designs may be adapted from the Paris Ceramics archive or developed from a client brief.

Panels can be scaled for different environments, and clients may collaborate with the artists on subject matter, colour palette and level of detail. The resulting Mappa Mundi Tile Panel brings cartographic imagery, ceramic craft and storytelling together in a composition shaped for its setting.
