Description from the seller
Set of 8 antique Delft 'Springertjes' tiles – Animal motifs – 18th century.
Beautiful set of eight original antique Delft wall tiles (white ware), dated from the 18th century. These tiles are known for their charming 'springertjes' decorations: hand-painted images of animals in action, captured in a characteristic blue double circle.
Subjects: The tiles show a varied collection of animals, including a jumping fox or dog, a seated hare or rabbit, and a bird (possibly a goose or duck).
Decoration: The central figures are enclosed by a circle, with in the corners classic motifs such as the 'spinning head' or floral motif.
Presentation: One tile has already been presented in a matching wooden frame, enhancing the historic appearance.
Dimensions: The tiles measure the standard antique size of approximately 13 x 13 cm.
Condition
The tiles are in an authentic, antique state with signs of use appropriate to their age, such as craquelure and small edge chips. Three tiles in the set are blank white tiles without a central image. Please view the photos carefully for a detailed view of the state of each individual tile.
