Antique French Art Nouveau Tile

$175.00
Quantity available: 2

Fantastic glazes define this highly relief-molded tile by the French maker, Utzschneider  which was located in Sarreguemines (which used to be known as Saargemund), France, c. 1896-1910. French art nouveau tiles are rarely seen on the market. Here is a wonderfully articulated sea shell in very high relief framed by green underwater plants. I have two of these tiles and have pictured them together along with tiles from listing "FBAN 1050". The are both in excellent condition with some wear as shown.  Particularly, tile #1 has a slight glaze rub at the highest point of the tile at about the shell's center; tile #2 also has a a slight glaze rub at the highest point of the tile at about the shell's center along with a tiny nicks to the upper edge of the tile toward right. Truly standout glaze work is exhibited on these examples. Price is for one tile. Please write with any questions you may have.

 

*The photos taken of the two tiles together were taken with very low light; the photos of the individual tiles are representative of the true colors of the tiles.
