Overview
This antique Delft tile depicts the Biblical scene that Baby Jesus is being visited by the shepherds. Although the story tells about more shepherds, this tile only depicts one (the kneeling figure). The other two figures surrounding Baby Jesus in the craddle are Mary and Joseph. The tile is decorated with a stylized version of the 'ox-head' corner motif and is overall in a good condition with a slightly worn lower and right side. The tile was made in the Dutch city of Utrecht.

We ship solely with premium partners such as DHL Express and FedEx Economy/Priority. Based on the delivery address, value and weight of the shipment we choose the right carrier to work with. Each shipment is fully insured and prepared with all the required documents to pass customs when ordering from outside the European Union. All our tiles are extremely well packed. We use heavy-duty cardboard boxes for small orders. Larger others are packed in wooden export crates with multiple layers of protective foam.
Antique tiles Antique tiles are handmade, so variations in color, size and texture are to be expected. Also, due to the age of the items, small chips and signs of use are common and considered to be part of antique tiles and the overall experience. Our tiles have been rinsed and cleaned intensely, making them suitable to be reused. However, we can never guarantee that all traces of sooth, salt or other forms of pollution have completely been extracted from the tiles. We expect our customers to be aware of this matter.
Color accuracy Due to the relative inconsistencies of various display monitors, the colors you see on your screen may not be a totally accurate reproduction of the actual product. We strive to make our colors as accurate as possible, but screen images are intended as a guide only and should not be regarded as absolutely correct.
