Fetching Antique Victorian English Tile T & R Boote Seasons Zodiac (?) C. 1875
Item History & Price
Welcome Tile Fans! Beginning to sell my mostly life-long tile collection, bit by bit, stay tuned....Starting ALL with much lower than I paid!!
Beautifully SymmetricalAntique Victorian TileSeasons/ Zodiac (?)c.1875 (6 inch X 6 inch standard size)
Lovely tile featuring panels of ladies each representing the four seasons. A wonderful example of the mixture of Japanese and aesthetic influence. The central ram may or may not denote a zodiacal symbol. Attributed to T & R ...Boote by J & B Austwick "The Decorated Tile" (an example, page 86, plate 232). Only my supposition: these figures remind me of Walter Crane's work. No matter, lovely all the same.
WELCOME! Please ask any questions before bidding! Thanks for looking!!
I strive for win/win. I want to give you a good experience and ask that you will reciprocate with five star rating. Ebay is person to person---best thing about Ebay!
Please do not "ding" me on shipping--yes an added expense but I am not Amazon. I endeavor to keep postage to a minimum cost & maximum safety. I will refund any overage; if I am under, to your benefit! :-)
I strive for 5 star ratings from you and win/win situations. If any problems upon receipt let me know. The best thing about Ebay is YOU, and me!
