Most of  Mumbai’s Art Deco architectural icons have Minton floors. In 1922, a family based out of Uran and set out to compete with the UK-based Minton & Co., whose popular patterned clay tiles were shipped to colonies all the way from Britain. Members of the family travelled to England and learnt how to use coloured cement. They started manufacturing affordable patterned alternatives to the imported tiles - in India. A map of undivided India was stamped on the back of each and every tile. ........................................................ MATERIAL Copper plated metal alloy and glass CARE Spot clean only.
