AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Historically consistent set of 18 original Dutch tin-glazed wall tiles from the 18th century (dating circa 1750 – 1800).
These handmade tiles are in a beautiful, well-worn condition and are decorated with the characteristic and refined "clove" corner motif.
The set contains a highly varied and attractive mix of hand-painted scenes:
* Landscapes & Water: Various Dutch village and fortress views by the water, sailing ships, and a classic windmill.
* rarer figure and animal tiles: A detailed horseman, a cart with a horse, and a bird on a branch.
Specifications & Authenticity Features:
* Size:
Ca. 125 x 125 mm (the characteristic, handmade shrinkage size from this period).
* Thickness:
Ca. 9 mm (perfectly fitting the heyday of 18th-century Delftware).
Condition:
Authentic condition with the expected signs of aging, such as light edge wear ("fritting"), which underscores historical charm and authenticity. No serious, modern restorations have been performed.
A rare opportunity for the collector, or ideal for achieving a historically responsible fireplace surround, open-hearth renovation, or kitchen splash-back.
