It is rare to find such a complete splashback
complete with Charlotte Rhead tiles and in such
good condition, the figural tiles also less
often seen (I have one of the boy on a Marsden
blank). Rhead's tiles were popular for washstand
backs but very few have survived complete, these
are well glued on to a fairly substantial
board.
Just a few minute chips, glaze near perfect.

We don't usually offer splashbacks complete
but have made an exception in this case due to
the rarity and that a Rhead collector would love
to have a complete original whether to mount on
a wall, frame like a picture or fit in to
another washstand. The splashback was all that
remained from the original furniture, we have
available washstands to accomodate splashbacks
of the dimensions for this panel if required.
Complete splashbacks make delivery complicated
(shipping be expensive) so ideally would prefer
collection, or we'll deliver in our own
transport if not too far away. Use the ask a
question link to discuss delivery.
We will dismantle after a reasonable period
of time it if it doesn't sell as it is. We do
like to preserve whenever we can however reality
is that there is a larger market for smaller
items and smaller market for larger items.
