18th Century Portuguese Mural Tiles Wall Hanging with Sailboat on the Sea

About the Item

18th century Portuguese Azulejos mural tiles decorative wall hanging depicting a sailboat on the sea, in various shades of blue, beige, and other accentuating colors. Stunning details with eye-catching blue, white, mustard, natural green and yellow colors. Azulejos is a form of Portuguese and Spanish painted tin-glazed ceramic tile work. Azulejos are found on the interior and exterior of churches, palaces, ordinary houses, schools, and nowadays, restaurants, bars and even railways or subway stations. They were not only used as an ornamental art form, but also had a specific functional capacity like temperature control in homes. There is also a tradition of their production in former Spanish and Portuguese colonies in North America, South America, Goa, Africa (Angola and Mozambique), and the Philippines. Azulejos found particular success also in Liguria (Italy), due to the close relationships between both Christian and Islamic territories of the Iberian peninsula and the Republic of Genoa. Being imported at first (in most cases from Seville or the Nasrid Granada), they started to be produced in situ during the next centuries. Ligurian-made tiles inspired by azulejos are known as laggioin in Ligurian. Azulejos still constitute a major aspect of Portuguese architecture as they are applied on walls, floors and even ceilings. Many azulejos chronicle major historical and cultural aspects of Portuguese history. This wonderful framed wall hanging is very decorative and would enhance any space. Very heavy. This 18th Century Portuguese Mural Tile Wall Hanging with Sailboat will enhance any setting.
