Description

Three unusual tin glazed manganese early Dutch Delft tiles in very good condition. Two of the tiles depict biblical scenes, one showing Christ's betrayal kiss in the Garden of Gethsemane; the second showing Jesus expelling the money lenders from the Temple. The third tile has a Dutch coastal scene of church and ships. All scenes are painted in magenta and all three are tastefully surrounded by plain wooden frames. The coastal scene is slightly smaller as shown in the main photo.

These three tiles, which are ready to hang, would be a most interesting wall display.

FAQs

Manganese delft tiles were produced in the Netherlands from the 17th century onwards, utilizing a manganese oxide pigment that produced a distinctive purple-brown or violet hue instead of the traditional cobalt blue.

These tiles were crafted from local clay, tin-glazed on the surface to create a white background, hand-painted with metallic oxide pigments, and fired in a kiln.

Authentic pieces often exhibit irregularities in the glaze, tiny edge chips known as fritting, hand-painted brushwork nuances, and a sandy texture on the unglazed reverse side.

Framed antique tiles can be mounted as wall art in groupings, displayed on a mantelpiece, or integrated into architectural features to introduce historical texture and narrative depth.

Preserve antique tiles by keeping them out of direct sunlight, dusting gently with a soft dry cloth, and avoiding liquid cleaners or abrasive materials on the delicate tin glaze.
