Framed Set of 18th Century Portuguese Tiles

About the Item

The artistry and industry of Portuguese azulejos tiles is a tradition that dates back many centuries; as a practical, architectural surface to cover both interior and exterior walls without missing the opportunity to make a strong visual impact. This collection of four, patinated tiles from the 18th century has been more recently assembled into a panel set in a wooden frame to appreciate the charm of their handpainted design (hence the subtle variation between them) incorporating stylized geometric and floral motifs rendered in blue and lavender glazes on white-slip clay. Whether used in place of a trivet on a table, displayed on a surface, or hung on a wall this inspiring memento will delight in any interior. We believe this to be in good antique condition considering its age, and any visible signs of wear are captured in the photos. Please view the detailed image gallery for the current condition or reach out directly with any questions.
