AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful original antique Art Nouveau tile made by: Villeroy & Boch Mettlach, Germany. The tile is made circa 1900. The geometric decoration is relief-embossed using the dust-press technique, where clay powder is compacted under high pressure in a mold. This decoration is attributed in Germany to Peter Behrens, painter, architect and graphic designer. (1868-1940) The tile is in good condition, with bright glaze. I package the tile(s) with great care. I ship my packages with PostNL. All packages come with a track & trace number.

Seller's Story

I have been trading antique tiles for almost 20 years. I sell medieval lead glazed floor tiles. Italian, Spanish and Portuguese tiles from the fourteenth to the eighteenth century. Dutch tiles from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, as well as tiles from the Art Nouveau and Art Deco period. I sell at special tile fairs in Germany and England, through Catawiki and eBay and through my website.
