Tile (18) - Delft, Plateelbakkerij - 1750-1800

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.
