Object Description

An antique Minton & Co encaustic tile of St Michael.

Dating to circa 1860, the vivid blue glaze accompanied by the bright white emphasises the intriguing scene displayed on this impressive 6-inch tile.

The subtle timeworn look adds character and charm. Displayed on a custom made steel stand, its beauty can be admired up close in any period property looking to appreciate 19th century religious designs.

Saint Michael
