AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
**NO RESERVE**
Rare antique framed panel composed of two original Flemish heraldic tiles, attributed to the Southern Netherlands (Flanders), dating from the late 16th to early 17th century, circa 1580–1620.
The tiles feature a striking heraldic rampant lion motif in yellow ochre glaze against a deep earthy background, surrounded by geometric and floral border decoration characteristic of Renaissance-period Flemish tilework from the Low Countries. The lion motif strongly recalls the historic Flemish Lion associated with the County of Flanders and the heraldic traditions of the region.
The panel consists of two individual period tiles mounted together within a later wooden frame.
These tiles were likely originally part of an architectural decorative scheme, fireplace surround, or noble interior installation. The rich glaze, age-related wear, and surviving surface texture contribute to the strong historical presence of the piece.
Condition:
Good antique condition considering age of more than 400 years. Restored. Wear, glaze losses, chips, mortar traces, and age-related imperfections consistent with period origin. Frame with minor wear.
Dimensions:
34 cm long × 19.5 cm high × 4 cm deep
Will be carefully packed and shipped with tracking.
