Antique Framed Delft Tile Panel Depicting a Cat in Landscape

About the Item

This antique framed tile panel depicting a cat in landscape sourced from the estate of Dame Barbara Mary Quant is quite the find. Displayed in a frame, the tiles form a stunning artwork piece, looking wonderful hung on the wall of period and contemporary properties alike. Dating to circa 1800, these are excellent examples of early Delft work, preserved throughout history for over 200 years. Georgian and Victorian in style, this panel houses four handmade manganese tiles which together depict the cat scene. Mary Quant Dame Barbara Mary Quant (Feb 1930-April 2023) was an English fashion designer for young people in the 60s. She was known for achieving the ‘Chelsea look’ and the widespread popularity of the miniskirt and hot pants. Quant's work reflected a shift in fashion and the inspiration she offered young people. She was given an OBE (Officer of the Order of the British Empire) in 1966 and a DBE (Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire) in 2015. These tiles were owned by this influential and inspirational lady, adding to their unique history. Delft Tiles Delft dates back as far as the early 1500s. The Dutch city of Delft, after which the pottery is named, was the major centre of its production. Tiles and pottery made from Delft are applied with a tin and magnesium glaze that gives them their distinctive purple-blue colour. Their well-known blue and white tiles appeared around 1620 and became world famous, the tiles often painted with scenes from daily life and used to decorate kitchens, chimneypieces, staircases and more. We have a similar panel of a bird in a coop available.
