'Cluny tiles are not only pronounced like George Clooney, they also share the actor’s classically handsome looks and versatility. In fact, the name derives from a district in the fabled Burgundy region of France. Evocative of that country’s medieval heritage with its stylized three and four-leaf clover patterns, it’s one of our oldest tiles, a legacy from Don Ovidio.
