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.

Metro full tile facade edge 10x20cm piece

The tiled Metro is based on a common European model from the turn of the 20th century. The model was common in the metro stations of Paris and London, and it still appears in some stations 100 years later! Each tile is marked with Gysinge on the back.

The tile is thick and strong and has a vibrant surface because it is made by hand, tile by tile. It is glazed by hand and fired in old kilns. The hand glazing makes the surface vibrant and shimmering. A larger surface tiled with our tile therefore gives the same impression as an old hand-beaten tile oven.

This fabric is a quality product that gets more and more beautiful the more you use it and wash it.

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.
