Description from the seller
Lot of 4 antique glazed ceramic tiles hand-painted on the theme of old trades
Description
I am offering at auction a charming set of four decorative glazed ceramic tiles, illustrated with scenes of traditional trades. These decorative pieces stand out for their expressive characters, bright colors and Mediterranean inspiration.
Each tile represents an artisan or a character in a traditional activity, offering a decorative testimony of daily life and the know-how of yesteryear. The set forms a harmonious series, ideal for fans of antique faience, decorative ceramics and collectible objects.
Composition of the lot
- A tile depicting a violinist with his music stand
- A tile depicting a mason building a brick wall
- A tile depicting a fisherman at the edge of the water
- A tile depicting a potter working at his wheel
Style and features
These four tiles feature a Mediterranean-inspired decoration, evoking the traditions of Spanish and Portuguese azulejos as well as decorative series devoted to old trades.
The illustrations highlight characters dressed in traditional costumes, with a yellow jacket and blue trousers. The colors are dominated by saffron yellow, blue and various shades of green, creating a pleasant contrast and a presentation full of character.
The glazed surface brings brightness to the motifs and highlights the details of the scenes depicted. The theme of old trades gives this set particular interest for lovers of traditional craftsmanship and vintage decoration.
Condition
Very good overall condition according to visual assessment. The tiles feature colorful and bright decoration.
Please carefully check all photographs to assess the overall aesthetic condition, details of the motifs, edges and any signs of wear.
Decorative and collection interest

They can be displayed individually, framed or integrated into a decorative project, subject to an appropriate installation suited to their condition and nature.
Their presentation as a series also makes it possible to create a pretty wall display in a kitchen, workshop, country house or space dedicated to antique objects.
A decorative collectible piece that will appeal to lovers of illustrated ceramics and scenes of crafts from yesteryear.
