About the Item
To find a matching pair of 18th century antique nautical style Delft tile panels like these is a rare find. Displayed in bespoke steel stands, each panel houses 12 individual handmade manganese tiles which together depict a large ship at full mast, sailing across the waves of the ocean. Dating from circa 1750, these are excellent examples of early Delft work, preserved throughout history for more than 250 years.
Delft Tiles
Delft dates back as far as the early 1500s. The Dutch city of Delft, after which the pottery is named, was the major centre of its production. Tiles and pottery made from Delft are applied with a tin and magnesium glaze that gives them their distinctive purple-blue colour. Their well-known blue and white tiles appeared around 1620 and became world famous, the tiles often painted with scenes from daily life and used to decorate kitchens, chimneypieces, staircases and more.
