Item Description
A 445-year-old late medieval 16th century heraldic encaustic tile of Flemish origin (unmarked). 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 left, 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, slight wear only adding to its ancient beauty.
CONDITION REPORT
Good structural condition. Surface wear. Chips and losses. Wear to glaze. Traces of mortar to sides and backs. No signs of repair.
