Zellige and Bejmat tiles are both handcrafted clay tiles that originate from Morocco from the 10th Century. Each zellige tile is a unique individual, and together they create an almost living effect. The edges are not completely straight, the surface is not totally flat, some corners may be rounded, there are colour variations and other charming unique irregularities. In Morocco, the fabulous mosaic work that decorates many of the mosques and palaces are made of zellige. They can also be seen on walls, floors, ceilings, pools, fountains, and entranceways of other important buildings.
Bejmat tiles are a particular style of Glazed Zellige tiles for use in floor applications.
