Description from the seller
Original Ceramiche Piemme Ferrari tile – Prancing Horse – Enzo Ferrari office
Rare original ceramic tile produced by Ceramiche Piemme of Fiorano Modenese (Modena), Italy, featuring the iconic Ferrari Prancing Horse on a characteristic yellow background.
This type of tile was specially produced by the historic Piemme factory in connection with Enzo Ferrari and his office. Contemporary photographic and press documentation shows the same distinctive yellow Ferrari tiles installed on the wall behind Enzo Ferrari’s desk in his office.
The connection is also documented by historical sources concerning the Piemme Ferrari tiles: the tiles were reportedly commissioned by Enzo Ferrari for his office, and Piero Ferrari later recalled seeing the yellow Prancing Horse tiles behind his father’s desk.
The present piece is an original vintage example and retains the characteristic craftsmanship and appearance of the historic Piemme production.
Details:
* Manufacturer: Ceramiche Piemme
* Origin: Fiorano Modenese, Modena, Italy
* Subject: Ferrari Prancing Horse
* Colour: Ferrari yellow
* Material: Ceramic
* Dimensions: approximately 33 × 33 cm
* Marking: “Made in Italy” on reverse
* Vintage production
* Extremely collectible Ferrari automobilia
* Suitable for collectors of Ferrari memorabilia, Italian design and automotive history
The tile is presented together with photographic documentation showing the Ferrari office where the same type of tiles were installed.
Condition:
The tile is in vintage condition, with signs of age, handling and storage. The reverse shows the original textured ceramic surface and four felt/rubber protective pads. Minor imperfections and surface marks are visible and should be considered part of the item’s history and age.
Please carefully examine all photographs, which form an integral part of the description.
This is a particularly interesting piece of Ferrari and Modena ceramic history, combining the heritage of Enzo Ferrari with the historic production of Ceramiche Piemme, a company whose relationship with Ferrari was also strengthened by its Formula 1 sponsorship of Gilles Villeneuve in the early 1980s.
