This three fish tile is a vivid Islamic-style tile centred on a star-shaped medallion with three painted fish, framed by an intense cobalt border and scrolling white arabesque. Bold, graphic, and joyful, it combines aquatic symbolism with classic ornamental geometry.

From De Ferranti’s Islamic Tile category, this piece draws on the layered influences that shaped Islamic ceramic art – geometry, stylised nature, and rhythmic borderwork – while keeping the composition clean and immediately readable.

At the centre, a multi-point star medallion in warm parchment tones holds three fish painted in saturated blues and amber-brown, each outlined for clarity and given subtle scale-like detail. The surrounding frame introduces fine linear patterning and warm terracotta accents that sharpen the geometry and add depth.

A deep cobalt perimeter border encloses the tile, filled with flowing white arabesque foliage that feels both decorative and disciplined. The contrast between the calm central ground and the electric blue border gives the piece its impact, making it ideal as a feature tile, inset panel, or repeating field when you want strong colour and heritage pattern in one hit.

Suitable for walls, splashbacks, niches, and decorative panels, and can be adapted in colourways and layout for bespoke commissions.

Three Fish Tile in a Star Medallion

The complete tile reads as a strongly centred emblem. The close view shows how the three fish are separated by scale, colour and direction: one in cobalt, one in amber-brown and one in pale blue, all held within a parchment-toned star edged with terracotta and fine scrollwork. The deep blue outer border creates a clear stopping point, making the piece effective as a framed insert or as the repeated centre of a larger scheme. Orientation and spacing should be resolved before installation so the fish remain upright and the border aligns consistently.

For a more detailed aquatic scene within the collection, Shoal Star Medallion – Islamic Ceramic Tile expands the central narrative, while Iznik Azure Star Tile removes the figurative subject and concentrates on fourfold geometry.

Elsewhere at De Ferranti, Fish Repousse Panel interprets marine imagery in worked metal, and Copper Sea Life Panel Inlaid into Sage Stone combines a related subject with stone and copper. These alternatives provide useful routes for carrying the aquatic theme into adjoining materials.
