Find them at antiques sales or salvage yards, and select them according to a colour scheme, like blue and white, a favourite pattern or a unifying theme.
Use old tiles en masse as holders under a variety of candles in a display, as above. Or, create an unusual table arrangement by putting two antique tiles together as an alternative to placemats, using a third one as a coaster (below).
