"Our Tile, Ur Style"
The History of Chettinadu
Chettinadu
“ Chettinad is rich in cultural heritage, art and architecture and is well known for its houses, embellished with marble and Burma teak, wide courtyards, spacious rooms and for its 18th century mansions.
Local legend has it that their walls used to be polished with a paste made out of egg whites to give a smooth texture. “
Story of Athangudi Tiles
Another ‘Chettinad specific’ craft ‘Poo Kallu’- floor tiles, produced manually in Athangudi. This art is 3 generations old, around 120 to 150 years old.
This tiles need no special machines and not even baking, as the ingredient used is not clay, but sand and cement. Just bare hands, a clean glass, and a mould are enough.Certain designs didn't even need the mould.
How They Do That
These tiles are not ceramic. Cement, baby jelly and sand with synthetic oxides make up the composition.
We are cast from the locally available clay that is burnt and then glazed. And our tiles have a play of base colours with conventional flora and line-drawing designs that set them apart from the modern versions in the market.
