T G & F Booth - C1885 - Brown Floral Swirls - Antique Hand Painted Tile
Item History & Price
T. G. & F Booth - Circa 1885
"Brown Floral Swirls"
-- Victorian * Transfer Printed * Hand-Tinted * Poly-Chrome --
A beautiful, Victorian era, Aesthetic Movement, tile, featuring swirling floral designs, springing from classical pediments, which surround a central, abstract flower motif. This design is accented with amber and white tints and is placed upon a pale green ground. Created using heat resistant green clay, this tile was manufactured by T. G. &am...p; F. Booth, circa 1885.
Condition: Very Good. The tile displays a reduced upper left and right corners, which allowed the passage of a small brass screw, holding a dime-sized brass washer, used for securing this tile to a furniture back splash. These reductions are original to this tile's first installation.
The verso displays the characteristic grip pattern of Booth, who, instead of embossing their versa with their company name and address, would stamp them, if they bothered to mark them at all.
(Stamping their tile biscuits allowed them to sell tile blanks to tile decorators, who could then market their art without confusion.)
Please examine the provided high-resolution scans of this antique tile to see for yourself its exact state.
(We have several copies of this tile available.)
Size: 6" x 6" inches x 3/8" thick. * Maker: T.G.& F. Booth * Style: Aesthetic Movement * Date: Circa 1885
