Subject:Framed Tiles
Posted By: Moebeah Sun, May 10, 2009 IP: 24.62.253.31
I have 2 framed tiles that mesasure about 6X6 inches. I would like to know anything about these and what the design is called on the 2 tiles so when people ask me I know. I am including photos of the front, back and frame. Thanks for your time, expertise and information.

Look like 18th century Dutch or English, or recent imitations. Decoration somewhat resembles degraded 'Chinoiserie' style that was popular. Purple tone in painting suspicious.

Back of frames tells nothing, would need photos backs of tiles. Original ones usual frame just around sides, not cover up backs.

Pictures not have design name.

Good luck,
Cal
