Item Details

A 445-year-old late medieval 16th century encaustic tile of Flemish origin (unmarked), detailed with a rampant lion. Made from terracotta and glazed, this 6-inch antique tile is an excellent collector’s piece, dating from circa 1580 when Philip the II of Spain was rule of Flanders, while Elizabeth I was Queen of England.


One of two similar we are selling, this heraldic tile is decorated with a rampant lion, facing right, surrounded by a border of lines, arches and dots resembling flowers.


A true antique that has stood the test of time for more than 4 centuries, historic wear only adding to its ancient beauty.
