Description from the seller
Decorative tile tableau with historical sailing ships – Delft blue style – circa 1950–1960
A distinctive and atmospheric tile tableau consisting of six individual ceramic tiles, each featuring a handsome blue-and-white motif with a historic sailing ship. The tiles are mounted in a long wooden frame and separated by narrow wooden slats with brass nameplates.
Shown are well-known ships with the names:
* Eendracht
* Nonsuch
* Amilia
* Redoubtable
* United States
* Victory
The ship depictions are executed in a loose, lively Delft blue style. Each vessel has its own character, ranging from richly documented merchant ships to impressive warships. The traditional corner ornaments on the tiles reinforce the classic Dutch appearance.
The wooden surround has a warm reddish-brown color and is finished with decorative brass corner pieces. Thanks to the elongated format, this tableau forms a striking decorative object for a maritime interior, study, library, hospitality establishment, or a collection of nautical objects.
Based on the design, material choice and finish, the plateau is likely from the mid-20th century, probably around the 1950s–1960s. An exact maker or dating could not be found, so the age is estimated with caution.
Special features
* Tableau with six ceramic ship tiles
* Blue-and-white decoration in Delft blue style
* Depictions of historic sailing ships
* Brass nameplates with each tile
* Wooden frame with brass corner fittings
* Long and decorative wall object
* Equipped with a hanging eye on the back
Condition
The tile tableau is in good used condition, appropriate for its probable age. The wood and brass components show light wear and signs of age. The tiles look complete and brightly decorated. Please inspect the photos carefully for a full impression of the condition; they form an important part of the description.
A characterful maritime wall object in which ceramics, ship history and classical decoration come together beautifully.
