The Gysinge tile is a beveled tile for bathrooms and kitchens of a model that was common in Sweden in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Several Swedish tile manufacturers existed at the time, including Ekeby Bruk in Uppsala.

What distinguishes Swedish tiles from international models is that Swedish tiles are usually square, not rectangular, and that they are available in so many parts, including half-tiles, borders and moldings, that a complete set can be made. The tiles are thick and strong and have a vibrant surface precisely because they are handmade and fired in old kilns. The glazing is also done by hand, which further enhances the rustic impression. All tiles are labeled “Gysinge” on the back.

0.5sqm/22 tiles in one package. Swedish-made handmade tile. White glazed by hand. Width 15cm, length 15cm, thickness 12mm, thickness edge 9mm.

Instructions for use:

As the tiles are of the old-fashioned type, i.e. thick and hand-glazed, we recommend that you also cut the tiles in the old-fashioned way, i.e. by hand and with a pulley. Feel free to change the pulley several times during the work to keep it sharp.

The tiles are laid in half-joints, i.e. the rectangular tiles are constantly shifted by half their width in relation to the next shift. If there is a gap between them, it is filled with a half tile. The border tile and cornice are also shifted in the same way. The cornice can also be mitered at the corners.

Traditionally, tiles from this period are laid with as little grout as possible. The wider the grout, the more of the effect of the beveled edges is removed. Remember also that the grout should always be white.

Tile Prinsen smooth 15×15 cm 0,5 sqm

Prinsen is a completely smooth, handmade tile, with a vibrant and shimmering surface. A larger surface tiled with Prinsen gives the same shimmering impression as an old handmade tile stove. The tile can be combined with our corner and edge tiles or with our tile breast strip if you want a contemporary finish to the tiling.

Historically, in really lavish contexts at the turn of the 20th century, there could be fully tiled rooms, that is, tiled from floor to ceiling. An example of such an environment is the kitchen in Hallwylska palace in Stockholm and the kitchen at Waldemarsudde, known as the “Prince’s kitchen”, as well as a few others. Sometimes even the ceilings were tiled.

This was the case in the Hallwyl Palace, for example, and in the new luxurious bathrooms built by the bourgeoisie around the turn of the 20th century. Many people have thought that this type of tiling is from a later period, as the tiles are also smooth, but it is likely that the smooth surfaces were mostly for hygienic reasons.

The tiles would simply be easily wiped clean. The fact that the tiles are usually joined together with minimal grouting is further support for the theory that good hygiene has been pursued.

Kitchen stove rod brass 1.5 m complete

Rod to attach above the kitchen stove for kitchen utensils, potholders etc. Can also be used as a towel rack in bathrooms. The model was common from the late 1800s until the 1930s.

MATERIAL Made of solid brass or in nickel-plated version. Polished shiny surface, but not lacquered. The brass darkens over time if you do not polish it.

MOUNTING The wall brackets have sturdy iron screws (3.5 mm) that are screwed (carefully!) into the wall. The hooks and brackets are then screwed onto the pole. Last of all, you tighten the screws that prevent the bar from rolling.

TIP! The bar can be shortened by sawing it off. It can also be connected to another pole if you want a longer version. In this case, a wall bracket should be placed over the joint.
