Jugendstil tiles

Yesterday when I visited the secondhand real estate material store, I couldn't resist to not buy at lease a piece of those tiles. So I bought 10 small pieces of their collection. See above pictures.

They are Jugendstil or Art nouveau tiles. They are made around at the end of 18th to begin 19th century.
What I am gonna do with those tiles, I don't know yet but I really love them. There are so many possibilities that you can do with those tiles. I will let you know what it will be.

Enjoy the pictures.

100 years old tiles, antique tile, tegel antik

Today I visited the secondhand real estate material store. It looked like that they are more specialized in tiles. There were old tiles every where. I went crazy... they were so beautiful.
The tiles were from around 18th to 19th century. I have taken a couple of pictures to show you all on this blog. Today it is a bit a rainy day that is why the tiles are dirty. The tiles are lying on the ground outdoor as example.

The funny of it is, those tiles are similar as the tiles are also found and made in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. In Indonesia those kind of tiles are famous as "tegel kunci" or kunci tile. The tiles are named after a famous tile factory that wa founded by 2 dutch people in 1920.
The factory is still open till today although it has been taken over by other family and the name of the factory has been changed to Kunci. They are still producing the same motifs and also still using the hand made methods as one century ago. Quiet amazing ha!!!

So enjoy the pictures.
