John Laurance

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.

Manufacturer and origin
Produced in the Netherlands within the Delft ceramic tradition.

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.

Current condition
Good overall condition. Surface craquelure consistent with age and firing technique. Minor edge wear and small chips along the perimeter. No structural cracks observed. Decoration remains clear and well preserved. No visible restoration.

Each tile approximately 15.5 × 15.5 cm
