Large Midcentury Made Delft Blue Tile Tableau / Wall Plaque with Dutch Landscape

Stunning and largest ever single tile, Delft Blue wall painting in the 'Haagse School' style. This antique and largest ever, single Delftware tile holds both the art of painting and the art of making glazed ceramic tiles and the amazing result is an absolute joy to own and to look at. This serene, realistic and truly Dutch landscape scene was the typical subject matter of what later became known as the famous 'The Hague School Style'. The painting on this tile was done by one of the great artists that worked for only the best ceramic studios in those days and the original of this painting was created by one of the greats of the 'Haagse School', Louis Apol (1850-1936). It is for that reason that this unique size tile with painting also is signed 'naar L. Apol' which means 'after L. Apol'. We have attributed this one of a kind antique to 'De Porceleyne Fles', but this could also have been made by one of the other two of the top three ceramic studios / manufacturers of that era. Those other two were 'Rozenburg' of the Hague and 'Holland Utrecht...

Mid to late 1700's pair of sizable and polychrome painted Dutch chargers. Even if you were to spent every day of the rest of your life searching, you would not find another pair of these rare Dutch chargers. These chargers are extra rare, because: 1. They ARE a pair. 2. There is a lot of yellow in them and that was always the most difficult color to master/create. On the back of one of them you can see a beautiful, 19th century restauration with a large amount of metal staples. Somewhere around 1900 these wonderful antiques were put in a metal wall brackets for safe and easy wall mounting. As you can see in our images, there is much wear and there are several damages and that is why we have priced this rare, colorful and highly decorative pair of antique chargers...

Beautiful large tile painting of a Gothic church interior by W.B. van Horssen (1863-1931). We very recently purchased a small collection of very rare antique plaques, tiles and vases by some of the best known maker's in the history of Dutch ceramics. This unique, hand-crafted and hand-painted work of art is the first one of that collection and this stunning and rare, single tiles plaque is in its original wooden frame. Because of their contrasting colors, the frame and tile painting go together really well. And these are in fact two works of art, because both the stunningly hand-painted tile and the wooden frame are as good as they come. With the borders of the frame coming as far outward as they do and the Gothic church interior that is drawing your attention deep into the back of the church, they really complement each other. However beautiful the frame is, this antique ofcourse is about the painting and this particular painting is by one of Rozenburg's finest (Wijnand Bastiaan van Horssen) who has perfectly managed to enhance the depth that is already in this composition, thus creating a visual effect that is an absolute joy to look at. By the way, the price that you see on the 'sticker' that the former owner put on the back after he had purchased this piece was put there in the 'old days' when we still had the Dutch guilder. The original painting of the Nieuwe Kerk in the Hague Holland (built in circa 1650) was by J. Bosboom. Besides one small old crack and a few minor imperfections to the frame, this unique and wonderful work of art is in very good condition still and may it grace the home or chapel of a Gothic style enthousiast soon. Mind you, because of their relative fragility very few of these amazing and high value works of art are still around. Rozenburg of the Hague, where this unique tile painting was created, was always one of the greats in Dutch ceramics and many of their works grace museums all over Europe. Rozenburg’s shareholders included the likes of the marine painter H.W. Mesdag (1831-1915) and the poet and literary critic Carel Vosmaer (1826-1888), and its tile painters numbered rising artists like Willem de Zwart...

Colorful, bright and highly decorative tableau of 12 tiles. This wonderful tableau of tiles from the midcentury period is in near mint condition. This wonderful 'tile painting' of a fruit basket is done in the most vibrant of fruity colors and the majolica technique in relief makes it even more lively and realistic. This group would look perfect when inlaid in a kitchen wall, but also in the wall of a restaurant or a greengrocer. If you are a handy person yourself then you could also incorporate these tiles into the table top of a kitchen or coffee table. Apart from two truly minor imperfections (see image 6 & 7), these 12 perfectly salvaged tiles...
