About the Item
A decorative 6-inch dust-pressed terracotta tile by Maw & Co. (stamped) decorated with a neoclassical profile portrait in relief before an olive green backdrop and yellow border.
Ex. British collection, the figure has a neoclassical air about him and wears a laurel wreath headpiece suggestive of a Roman figure. An excellent collector’s piece!
Maw & Co. Antique Tiles
Maw & Co. was founded in 1850 by George Maw and his brother Arthur. Over the next 30 years, the business would grow into one of the most influential English floor tile manufacturers in the industry, Maw & Co. tiles decorating properties and establishments across the globe.
Initially based in Worcester, the business relocated to the Benthall Works in Broseley, Shropshire in 1852. Here they made their highly sought after encaustic tiles while experimenting with majolica glazes, transfer print, hand painting and relief tiles. In 1883, the business expanded, relocating again to a new premises in Jackfield.
At the end of the 19th century, Maw & Co. was one of the largest tile factories in the world, trading for a further 70 years before closing in 1970.
