About the Item
This rare and remarkable tile produced at the close of World War II in Delft, depicting the Nazi dragon being slayed by the Dutch people, is a superb example of Art Deco cloisonné tilework as well as politically-themed art. The dragon, with a swastika on his forehead, is wrapped around the towns and cities of the Netherlands, though his death is sure at the hands of the Dutch townspeople wielding pikes and axes. The tile was produced with holes at the top for hanging, so can be displayed on a wall or on a table stand.

"Sur le Pont D'Avignon", Charming Art Deco Box Celebrating Traditional Song
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Although it has endured many scuffs and indignities, this extremely rare Art Deco box still charms, the figures on its lid playing the violin and dancing to the old children's tune of "Sur le Pont D'Avignon." The ancient bridge in Avignon, Provence has been the subject of song since the 16th century, but the song that is beloved today was first published in the mid-19th century. Here, the artist depicts a central fiddler flanked by two couples with elongated limbs, wide-brimmed hats and elegant dress. The sides of the box depict the wide arches of the bridge, with fish swimming in the water below. The exterior is covered with a paper printed in color lithography, and the interior is painted candy apple red. The scene is signed "Tolmer," perhaps Roger Tolmer...
