Large Antique 19th Century Burmantofts Tile
About the Item
A large antique 19th century tile attributed to Burmantofts.
Modelled in relief, this deeply cast 6-inch tile displays a classically dressed male scholar glazed in tonal ochre and vivid treacle.
Dating to circa 1880, this panel has remained in good quality condition displaying this historical figure for over 140 years, now ready to be displayed in its new home for many more.
Burmantofts
Named after the Burmantofts district of Leeds, England, owners of Burmantofts Pottery, William Wilcock and John Lassey, followed the example of Royal Doulton and grew into a large company after starting with unglamorous utilitarian wares in 1859.
The company expanded into decorative pottery and architectural ceramics, such as tiles like this one.
The company flourished until the turn of the century when, much like many smaller companies of its time, competition from foreign businesses with cheaper prices forced the business to close in 1957.
