Condition: Fine Style: Classical rococo figural A wonderful pair of top quality tile panels
from this famous company. Putti represnting
hunter and gatherer in the centre with rich
rococo scrollwork and hatching, further matching
scrollworg and hatching on the terminal tiles
with central floral bosses. Opulent colours
creating that blue and gold effect on a rich
creamy ground, lovely quality moulding and glaze
painting. Versos rather grubby but no adhesive residue,
embossed Minton Hollins etc. Excellent condition especially considering
they are well embossed and with the difficult
turquoise glaze, just some general light 'wear
and tear'. Some minor rust marks from the
original fireplace near the edges, some minor
rim chips most if not all would be hidden in a
traditional cast iron fireplace, some typical
blooming to the turquoise mostly where it is
thickest on the background of the figures, other
occassional minor surface marks, all marks apart
from the rust stains which would hopefully be
hidden so minor. See the large images below.
