A nice majolica tile panel, in bright natural colours. Five tile panels are mostly associated with fireplaces as more of them have survived than wall tiles, they often had duplicated tiles so that the height of the panels could be varied to suit. Panels were usually four to six tiles high for dados depending on the size of skirting tiles and use of borders and friezes, this could be used as a two or three tile panel too indeed all of the tiles stand on their on to greater or lesser extents and it is not uncommon to see them sold individually.

Ref: #02817

Generally very good condition, a few edge chips but mostly small, largest mark on the top of the second tile up is a blob of glaze. Light discolouration in the crazing, other very minor marks, clean and with good brilliance.

The image is full size at 72 dpi (about 430 pixels wide) in maximum quality JPEG format. A larger 120 dpi image also in maximum quality JPEG format can be forwarded by email if required.

The image is a little oversize rather than cropped close to the edges so that the edges can easily be seen and any chips etc can be quickly spotted. Other marks described are usually not visible at all when the tile is viewed straight as one normally sees it and can only be seen with a critical eye when the tile is tilted to catch imperfections in reflected light. For more details of how we describe marks see Condition.
