Overview

This 17th century Delft tile (circa 1640) depicts a Chinese-inspired scene painted in blue. In the circular medallion at the centre, a seated figure appears within an architectural setting with clear oriental influences, reflecting the strong fascination with Chinese porcelain during the Dutch Golden Age. The tile is decorated with the 'three-dot' corner motif, derived from the Trinity symbol. This motif, combined with the stylised corner ornaments and central roundel, creates a balanced and refined composition typical of mid-17th century Delft production. A rather unique detail about this tile is that the artist forgot to finish the motif on the top left corner. The tile is overall in a good condition with some minor signs of its age.

Product disclaimer
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.

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.
