Very little is known about these very attractive art décor ceramic tiles, now on display in the garden of THE FFWRWM, Caerleon.

They were purchased by Doctor Russell Rees from a bric-a-brac shop in Splott, Cardiff. The vendor believed they originated from The PostHouse Hotel and that they were an important feature of the 'Arthurian Rooms'. The décor of the hotel was, it is thought, designed by Olga Politzi, sister of Sir Rocco Forte. She, Doctor Rees believes, commissioned an artist to produce the tiles.

However, our enquiries at the hotel, now The Holiday Inn, have drawn a blank. None of the staff remember the Arthurian Rooms. If you can provide any information which may throw some light on the tiles origins or designer please email us.
