Item Description
A large antique Burmantofts architectural ceramic panel.
Moulded in high relief, this beautiful tile displays a stylised Art Nouveau floral design in a magenta to rich brown glaze over an ochre buff background.
Once a part of a frieze, this late 19th century piece stunning panel is still as impressive and charming as it was when first crafted over 140 years ago, perfect for placement as an interior decorative feature.
Burmantofts
Named after the Burmantofts district of Leeds, England, owners of Burmantofts Pottery, William Wilcock and John Lassey, followed the example of Royal Doulton and grew into a large company after starting with unglamorous utilitarian wares in 1859.
The company expanded into decorative pottery and architectural ceramics, such as tiles like this one.
The company flourished until the turn of the century when, much like many smaller companies of its time, competition from foreign businesses with cheaper prices forced the business to close in 1957.
