About the Item
A pair of Burmantofts neoclassical style tiles dating to the 19th century.
Modelled in relief, each 6-inch tile is picked out in a tonal deep majolica glaze, one decorated with a portrait of Vesta, the Roman goddess of health and household, while the other depicts the profile of male bust marked Sol.
Dating to circa 1880, these striking tiles have been in use for over 150 years and as such have a characterful, lightly crazed, timeworn look.
The perfect decorative set for modern and period properties looking to add vibrancy and charm.
These tiles are unmarked.
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.
