There's no sentence actually. It's not used in any sentences. I just thought that tile work is overgeneralized in English. is that so?
I've never seen the word 'tilework'. It could be used for the tiles of a roof, or for decorations like mosaics made of tiles, but it's not a familiar word.
The tilework is exquisite.
It seems like a normal word to me and my phone does recognize it. It describes tiles used to cover a surface and more so if it's decorative.
Here is a store in Minnesota in the U.S.
Ceramic Tileworks is your resource for porcelain tile in Minnesota.
Maybe it's more common in the U.S.

Then what did you mean when you said "In a new English textbook in Iran I've seen tilework"? Did you mean you saw the word in your book? If so, it must have appeared in some kind of context.
Or did you mean you saw a picture of something that you would call tilework, and wondered whether the word exists?
I see "tile work" frequently. Sometimes "tilework" or "tile-work" and it usually involves elaborate designs such as these.
