Overview

Beautifully hand-painted Delft antique wall tiles depicting floral compositions in blue, dating from the first half of the 17th century. Each tile depicts a stylised plant with three flowers in a diamond square. The corners are decorated with lily corner motifs, which gives the central design their distinctive early character. Although most plants depicts flowers of the same type, subtle variations can be observed between the individual tiles, adding charm and individuality to the overall composition.

Condition and preparation

All tiles are reclaimed antiques and are prepared for reuse. They have been cleaned, desalinated and any soot residues have been removed. Each order is hand-selected to ensure a harmonious appearance in colour tone, glaze and surface character. If your project requires cut tiles, designated tiles with more visible imperfections can be supplied at a reduced price, helping preserve intact historical tiles.

Tile variety and stock

This collection consists of floral tiles with plants placed within the characteristic diamond-shaped frame. While the overall composition remains consistent, small variations in the flowers and brushwork give each tile its own character. Representative images provide a good impression of the variety within the design. For the most up-to-date stock levels, please refer to the quantity indication (pcs) shown on the right-hand side of this page.

Complementing tiles

These tiles are best showcased when used together, allowing the diamond-shaped framing and floral motifs to form a harmonious and historically consistent wall composition. They can also be combined with other 17th-century Delft tiles featuring lily corner motifs. In addition, pairing them with plain white antique tiles (witjes), both first and second quality, can introduce visual balance and framing within the overall installation.

Tile size

Each tile measures approximately 13 × 13 cm (5.1” × 5.1”) and 1 cm / 0.4” thick. As the tiles are handmade and antique, slight variations in size and thickness are to be expected and contribute to their authentic character.

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.

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.
