Item Description
An antique W. B. Simpson & Sons tile panel depicting a Neoclassical design.
The set of four hand painted tiles form a beautiful decorative panel of a classically styled vase with scrolling ribbons and oak boughs with acorns, in an elegant tonal blue on a charming ochre background.
The tile to the bottom of the panel is hand signed with 'W. B Simpson & Sons - 100 Saint Martins Lane, London.
Displaying a Neoclassical flair, the set combined make the perfect decorative wall art for a period home looking to add style and grandeur.
W. B. Simpson & Sons
William Butler Simpson established his ceramics company in W. B. Simpson & Sons in 1833, after he inherited his talent as an artist from his father.
Simpson gradually built up the business during his lifetime and even worked with tile manufacturers Maw & Co.
In 1849, Simpson was presented a gold medal by the Society of Arts in recognition of his efforts to promote the improvement of design.
Just a couple of years later, he received a bronze medal from the International Exhibition of Decorators, before being made a Freeman of The City of London.
In 1852, his two son, Willian Federik and Edward Henry were made partners.
CONDITION REPORT
Good structural condition. Few scuffs to the frame. The tiles show minor wear.
