Large American Encaustic Tile Fireplace Panel

Unavailable
Another fantastic AETCO large tile panel carved in high relief with the portrait bust of a classical woman contained within a tondo at center which rests against a pedestal behind it; swirling acanthus leaf decoration flourishes at either side of the draped tondo which is guarded by a putto at left holding a sword and another at right with bow and quiver who seems to be taking a short nap, the entire tile being nicely self framed. The tile is 18" x 6" and finished in a glossy golden, olive green glaze. It is in excellent condition with an underglaze edge nick top near left corner and light glaze flake there; minor edge nick at left near bottom, and glaze rubs at all four corners. The back is fully marked. This tile would look great framed and hung above a doorway or as the centerpiece in a fireplace mantel. Please write with any questions you may have.
