Set of 16 Antique Delft Floor Tiles Depicting Biblical Scenes
About the Item
A set of 9 antique Delft tiles depicting biblical scenes. Dating to the 18th century, each tile is painted in manganese and white with varying scenes from the New Testament.
These reclaimed tiles have been in use for over 200 years and as such have a characterful, timeworn look with scuffs and crazing that only enhances their beauty.
Pictured in a 4 by 4 panel, these 5 inch tiles display carnation motifs to the corners and the various scenes are displayed in roundels.
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, often painted with scenes from daily life and used to decorate kitchens, chimneypieces, staircases and more.
We have others in the same design depicting the Old Testament, available for purchase in panels of 9 (as pictured). Please enquire for more details.
Additional dimensions
Each tile is approx 13cm x 13cm square (5.12in x 5.12in), 8cm deep (3.15in).
The overall weight for the batch is 5kg (11lbs).
