AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This is a fine original antique Art Nouveau tile with floral motifs in relief. This tile was made in Schramberg, Germany around 1905. Bottom-right of the tile is JB pressed, the initials of the designer Jean Beck, who designed tiles and glass for Villeroy & Boch. The tile is in good condition with clear glaze. However, there is a large damage to the top-left corner and some small glaze damages in the bottom-right corner. On the back is the decor number 1976 impressed. Tiles from this factory were often used in Art Nouveau furniture. I package the tile(s) with great care. I ship with DHL or PostNL, all parcels 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.
