Description

The small glazed tiles known as Azulejos used for floors and lower parts of the wall are done in shades of blue since the first shipments of these intricate tiles from Europe were done in this color. Over time, different tile designs and shades were also made available for the different parts of the house.

The Museo de La Salle uses different shades to match the general aesthetic of the 19th-century period.

This item is part of the DM Guevara Collection which pays tribute to the Filipino artisans of the past two centuries. Comprising of both fine furniture collections and folk implements, the collection highlights Western and Asian influences that are exquisite and functionally Filipino. The DM Guevara Collection was put together by the family matriarch Carmen S. Guevara for the Museo ng Buhay Pilipino in 1979.
