Antique English Armorial Tile

About the Item

A hand decorated antique English armorial tile by J. D. Rochfort dating from 1881. This porcelain tile is one of 14 similar we are selling, removed from the now demolished library of the Victorian Brompton Consumption Hospital, London. It is titled 'Members of the Building Committee' beside the coat of arms of Richard Quain, James Pollock and Reginald Thompson, physicians at the hospital, dated 1881 to the reverse. Brompton Consumption Hospital was founded in 1841 and built throughout the 1840s. An illustration from the Royal Collection shows how the exterior of hospital looked circa 1845. This large scale 8-inch tile is unique and brilliantly detailed, making a superb collector’s item. Hand-painted on porcelain, it is over 140 years old and captures the talent of the artist, offering a glimpse into 19th century English history. The artist, John Downes Rochfort (1825-1885), was a painter of ceramics and watercolours. Image source: Book illustration of 'Hospital for Consumption and Diseases of the Chest.' by Hulme, F. W. (engraver) from The Royal Collection Trust.
