Create a simple, understated and dark, moody medieval black border frame around your floor to lift and personalise it to your taste. This unique border is inspired by tiles often seen in Medieval Churches. It is fashioned from Pietra Nera and a Terracotta pencil line, over a cement base ensuring that the border is not only stable and sound, but also easy to install. Totally handcut, hand assembled, a truly handmade product. No border is the same as the artist’s hand is vital in creating natural nuances within each interlocking piece. Thicknesses can be 1cm or 2cm or to order as can the border widths and material combinations. All the De Ferranti borders are fully customisable.

Medieval Black Border with Terracotta Pencil Line

Paralello Border has a restrained, almost monastic character, using a dark Pietra Nera field framed by warm terracotta edging. The design is simple, but the surface is not flat or anonymous. Subtle texture, mineral variation and handmade irregularity give the border depth, making it especially useful where a project needs a strong line without decorative excess.

This medieval black border can be used to frame a stone floor, define a threshold, outline a fireplace surround or introduce a narrow dark perimeter detail into a larger interior composition. The terracotta pencil line softens the black stone and gives the border a warmer, older character, particularly when paired with aged stone, terracotta, limestone or other natural floors.

Within the De Ferranti borders collection, Paralello Border offers one of the most minimal and textural options in the range. Designers considering related medieval or terracotta-led border work may also wish to explore the Quattrofoglie Border Medievale, the Pendente Border – Terracotta Border and Tierra Negra – Black Handmade Terracotta.
