Eiffel Tower

Pick any four 4-inch tiles — National Parks you've been to, a Smokies set, the four seasons of one place. $ for a set of , cork-backed, ready to live on the table.

Each tile ships in a kraft box, tied with cream ribbon, with a handwritten note from the studio if you'd like to add one.

Three or five different vistas, hung together — a chapter of places you've been, or want to go.

It stands on the Champ de Mars in the seventh arrondissement of Paris, on the Seine's left bank, with the Trocadéro across the river on the right bank. The closest métro stations are Bir-Hakeim on line 6, Trocadéro on lines 6 and 9, and École Militaire on line 8.

The structure measures 330 metres from the ground to the tip of the broadcast antennas. The original 1889 height to the flagpole was 312 metres. The highest visitor platform sits at 276 metres, the highest publicly accessible viewpoint in the European Union.

It was built between 1887 and 1889 for the Exposition Universelle that marked the centenary of the French Revolution. The engineering was led by Maurice Koechlin and Émile Nouguier of Gustave Eiffel's firm, with the decorative arches by architect Stephen Sauvestre. The structure is held together by roughly 2.5 million rivets.

The lattice sparkles for five minutes at the top of every hour, from sunset until 1 am, extended to 2 am in summer. The effect comes from twenty thousand small white strobes added for the 2000 millennium celebration and made permanent in 2003. The steady golden floodlighting stays on through the night.

The current scheme is a custom three-shade brown, darker at the base and lighter at the top, designed to read clearly against the Paris sky. The tower is repainted approximately every seven years and requires about 60 tonnes of paint. The campaign that began in 2019 is returning it toward the yellow-brown of the early twentieth century.

No. The original permit gave it twenty years, after which it was to be dismantled. It survived because Gustave Eiffel made it useful as a wireless antenna for early French military and civilian transmissions, and the broadcast role had become indispensable by the time the dismantling deadline arrived in 1909.

It's been a meaningful gift for many of our customers with ties to the city. The Eiffel Tower has lived in Parisian apartments for generations as a window glance, a walking detour, an everyday landmark. A Small or Medium in a hallway frame carries the affection without the souvenir energy.

The bronze-and-amber palette and the openwork iron silhouette sit well in Parisian Modern, French Industrial, and Jewel-tone Maximalist rooms. The piece also pairs cleanly with deep navy or oxblood walls; the lattice reads as drawing rather than photograph at most viewing distances.

The current movement toward warm minimalism with one strong character piece suits this artwork. A single Large above a console reads more curated than a wall of small framed prints. The bronze tones bridge old-world Parisian rooms and contemporary warm-neutral palettes without locking into either.

Above a standard 84-inch sofa, a single Large or a 4-tile Mural anchors the wall. Above a 60-inch console, a Medium or a Triptych sits in proportion. For a stair landing or a tall foyer, a 9-tile Mural is the size people remember.

Yes. Dura Satin and Matte finishes are scratch-resistant and rated for vertical installation in wet rooms, including showers, backsplashes, and powder rooms. The colour is slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, so steam and routine cleaning do not lift or fade the image.

Microfibre cloth and water, with a drop of mild dish soap if needed. Skip abrasive pads, bleach, and solvent-based cleaners. The glossy finish benefits from a soft dry buff afterwards; Dura Satin and Matte hide fingerprints and need less attention.

Yes. The Eiffel Tower piece, like every WenderVista, is an original by Reid Wender, the studio's curator, in our stained-glass and alcohol-ink visual language. The work is not licensed from a third party and is hand-finished in the Knoxville studio before shipping.
