Two Von Brauchitch S. O. F (Meissen) Art Nouveau Tiles
Item History & Price
Offered for your consideration are two beautiful art nouveau tiles designed by Margarethe Von Brauchitch for the Saxony Stove and Chamotte Wares Factory, Meissen, in Colin. The tiles consist of three white flowers among green foliage. The tiles are approximately 6 inches square and dates to about 1905. Marks include “S.O.F. / vomm / E. T. / C. M.”

FYI -- Ken started collecting art nouveau tiles around 1980 in such places as Germany, Chile, Uruguay, and Brazil, to name a few.

The tiles I am offering at the present time are duplicates of the ones in his book.
