Pair of Dutch Delft Blue Horseman Tiles with Corner Ornaments, 1930

A matched pair of hand-decorated Delft blue ceramic wall tiles depicting mounted horsemen in dynamic motion. The cobalt blue decoration, framed by traditional corner ornaments, presents a balanced composition suitable for both period and contemporary interiors. Offered as a pair, the tiles form a cohesive visual narrative and enhance decorative impact.

Date
1930.

Style and use
Hand-painted ceramic wall tiles in the classic blue-and-white Delft palette. Designed for wall installation in kitchens, fireplaces, entrance halls, or as framed decorative panels. The figurative horseman subject distinguishes these examples from more common floral or geometric designs.
