Cupids Playing Cello & Harp – Antique Tile Pair
This is an unusual pair of antique tiles. One depicts a putti playing a cello, and the other depicts a putti (aka cherub) playing a harp. They are created in a brightish green majolica glaze. Each tile measures 8 1/2" high by 4 1/4" wide by 1/2" thick. The sides of these tiles are glazed, and the backs are flat. They are unmarked and are from circa 1880. They are either American or English in origin. The designs are molded in medium to low relief. The condition is generally very good. There are a few minor wears to the higher points and some small edge nips. The harp does have a chip ¾ of the way down. Overall these display nicely and have an unusual and appealing green glaze. Fabulous for that musician in your life! (#T1151-H)

Pair Antique Figural Architectural Terra Cotta Panels
Fabulous and unusual pair of terra cotta panel - with nice high relief areas. Both measures 11 3/4" high x 6" wide by 1" thick. The right tile design is a pitcher with flowers coming out of the top - draped with cloth - books are propped up against the bottom left side of the pitcher. The pitcher has a great scene on it - a man sits in a chair, holding a paper or book in his right hand and a woman stands looking down at him. Two children are running around a tree (just to the upper right of the couple).
The left tile design is a lidded cornucopia - the lid has a birds head . The bottom of the cornucopia swirls back up into another birds head with a long beak.
Condition: The left tile has a large chip and crack on the left side (and part of a hairline from this on the back). It also has a top left edge chip. The right tile has a chip on the right edge 3/4 way down. Both have minor traces of mortar. These were obviously de-installed.
Unmarked - circa 1880-1900 - probably American. Truly classic designs. Outstanding if framed. (#T-1771)

Antique Stove Tile - Sailing Ship with Majolica Glaze
This great tile panel originally came from a German stove. It depicts a three masted sailing ship and features an outstanding brown majolica glaze. The design is executed in very high relief - in places as much as 1/2". This large, heavy panel measures 12" long by 8 5/8" wide, by just shy of 1 1/2" thick. Made in Germany, by Mugeln, this dates around 1880 - 1890. This has a self framing edge - and was cut from a larger panel. There is a tight hairline developing on the top edge which goes onto the tile face through the self framing edge (above the right most mast). This flaw will be nicely concealed when this tile is mounted or framed. There are a few minor edge flakes, and a few small nips to high points. All in all, still in very nice condition. (T3901X)

Hand Painted Antique Porcelain Plaques
Beautifully detailed, hand painting on this pair of porcelain plaques. Each plaque measures 15 3/4" tall by 8 3/4" wide. Total size with frame 18 1/2" by 10 1/2". European in origin, circa 1880, unmarked. Both plaques are signed by the artist, one in the lower left corner, the other in the lower right corner. The scenes are elegant ladies of the period, dressed in their finest. One appears to be outside of a church or chapel, carrying a rosary. The other appears to be opening a letter of gift, and is wearing a chatelaine. The plaque at the chapel has one long crack, running horizontally across the piece (about 2" up from the bottom), and glued together. The fortunate thing is that the crack is not tremendously noticeable from the front. A professional restoration would easily make this invisible. (#T-1070)

Antique German Art Nouveau Style Stove Tile
This stove tile measures 7 3/4" wide by 8 1/2" high by 1/2" thick. The design, which is molded in medium and low relief, shows two stylized flowers flowing in a stippled background and a curvilinear design in the center. Done is a blue green majolica glaze. There are very shallow glaze flakes on the self framing edge, which have been previously touched up. This de-installed tile was made in Germany, circa 1890. Shows beautifully and would look fabulous framed. See the other two German stove tiles I have that compliment this one! (#T-1151-R)

Porcelain Tile Plaque with Roses
This is a lovely porcelain hand painted tile plaque featuring roses and their leaves. One wonderful bud is open near the bottom, with 3 other roses in various stages above it. Signed and dated "Carole Ann 80" in the lower right corner. This measures 14 3/4" x 8 3/4". I have not unframed this, but I suspect that the tile itself measures about 12" x 6" (a fairly standard size). The frame is wood (in two muted tones of brown and green). The plaque is in excellent condition. There is a minor separation in the upper right corner of the frame (can be fixed with one small brad or nail) - and there is a piece of felt on the bottom edge of the frame. A classic Victorian look - roses are very desirable in tiles and plaques. (#T-1071)

Two cats and two fish are the subject matter for this whimsical large tile plaque. Danish modern in style, the glazes are heavily crackled and look like glass.

There is a glazed over mark on the back, which I cannot make out. Probably circa 1940's to 1950's. In excellent condition.

Antique German Stove Tile Panel with Musical Cherubs
This self framed large panel has a scene with seven cherubs playing musical instruments. There's a cello, several violins, a xylophone, a flute, a horn, and a singer. This is meant to imitate a tropical atmosphere - see the bamboo or palm type vegetation and the beads around the neck of one cherub. The molded design uses an effective combination of low, medium and very high reliefs. Made in Germany, by Mugeln, this was part of a German stove panel, circa 1880 - 1890. There is a factory repaired chip on the right edge, and two very small chips (colored in) on the self framing edge. This has a very attractive medium brown majolica glaze. This large panel measures 16 1/2" long by 9 3/4" wide by just shy of 1" thick. In extremely nice condition. (#T-1505)

French 1960's Mod Tiles - Boy and Girl
Great pair of Mid Century Modern tile panels - one shows of very hip young woman sitting on the railing of ship's deck. She's wearing a bright green floppy hat with a flower, a pair of bellbottom pants with bright orange spots, and a cute sexy top. The other tile shows a "cool young dude" wearing typical beat up clothes of a 60's rocker. His guitar is slung down in that "way cool" position!
Each tile measures 8" high x 4" wide. Done on French tile blanks, these were both signed by the artist R. Leduc and painted in Vallauris. The glazes pool up nicely on the tile creating a slightly raised effect. There are three extremely small shallow side nicks on the tiles - generally they are in very nice condition. (#T-1414)

Los Angeles Pressed Brick Figural Tile Panel ~ Rare
This gorgeous tile panel depicts putti (aka cherubs) playing musical instruments and dancing.
Done in a reddish brown glaze, they called this a vellum glaze. The cherubs are in low relief. The panel measures 9 3/4" x 5". The tile panel is set into an older solid wood frame that measures 12 3/4" x 8 1/2".
LA Pressed Brick tiles are rare and hard to come by. The company was in business from 1887 – 1926. The decorative tile production began in 1907. Fred H. Roberston was one of the main designers of their decorative tile. The tile has had a professional and invisible restoration. The tile is clearly marked on the back with not only the LAPB mark, but also with an impressed F.H.R. - for Fred H. Roberston. A great piece to add to your Arts & Crafts Movement tile or pottery collection. (#T-2042)
