Antique English Tile Depicting Prince of Wales Coat of Arms

About the Item

A hand decorated antique English heraldic tile depicting the coat of arms of Albert Edward, Prince of Wales (later Edward VII), 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 dated and signed J. D. Rochfort to the reverse. Prince Albert Edward (1841-1910) was the first son of Queen Victoria who ruled Great Britain and Ireland from 1837 to 1901. Prince Albert ascended the throne in 1901, becoming King Edward VII. An oil on canvas portrait of the Prince of Wales from 1882 forms part of the Royal Collection. 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.

    By Elkington & Co.
    Located in Lymington, Hampshire
    These bronze figures show Edward, Prince of Wales, standing in a nonchalant pose with one leg crossed over the other, a cigar in his left hand, his hat at his feet and a shotgun slung over his right arm. The elegant Princess of Wales is depicted skating, with feathers in her hat, and wearing a fur-trimmed coat and muff as the wind catches her three-quarter length skirt. Each stamped Elkington & Co Founders and G 1870. English, dated 1870. Provenance: Prince Victor of Hohenlohe-Langenburg, Count Gleichen. Prince Victor of Hohenlohe-Langenburg, Count Gleichen, was the son of Prince Ernst of Hohenlohe-Langenburg and Princess Feodore of Leiningen, half-sister to Queen Victoria. He ran away from school to England in 1848 and was sponsored to enter the Royal Navy by Queen Victoria. In 1854 he attained the rank of Lieutenant after serving as mate on the flagship Cumberland, where his future brother-in-law was captain and his future father-in-law was admiral. In 1866 he retired from the navy and trained with the British sculptor William Theed. As a sculptor, he carried out several portrait commissions for Queen Victoria including a statuette of Prince Alfred, her second son, and another of Prince Albert Victor...
