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 Old 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 3 by 3 panel, these 5 inch tiles display carnation motifs to the corners and the various scenes are displayed in roundels with text underneath for each verse.
The tile that shows a baby being handed to a man in a temple illustrates Luke 2:25 - "Now there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was righteous and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him."
While another represents the passage from Luke 2:22 - "When the time came for their purification according to the law of Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord.”
John 10:11 also features, showing a man chasing off dogs: “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd sacrifices his life for the sheep.”
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 New Testament, available for purchase in panels of 16 (as pictured). Please enquire for more details.
Additional dimensions
Each tile is approx 13cm x 13xcm square (5.12in x 5.12in), 8cm deep (3.15in).
The overall weight for the batch is 5kg (11lbs).
