About this piece
These tiles were made by Rozenburg in The Hague, the factory that helped shape Dutch Art Nouveau before it closed in 1917. Their playful, almost abstract decoration – loose scrolls and stylised flowers in the corners – is in the style of Theo Colenbrander, the designer whose free brushwork and bold colours made Rozenburg famous. Unlike most tiles of the period, these were never set into a wall. They come from old stock, with clean backs that still carry the impressed mark ROZENBURG DEN HAAG. More than a century later, they look much as they did when they left the factory.
Condition
- Excellent condition. No chips, no signs of wear
