Art Deco
Antique Tile

Product Description:
This is an antique ceramic tile. It's a small tile, approximately 85mm on each side, featuring a deep indigo geometric pattern (checkerboard and vertical arrow-like lines) on a white background. Among antique tiles, which often feature floral designs, such a linear and modern pattern is rare and highly recommended for those who appreciate Art Deco and Modernism. There is a hole in the center. This likely indicates it was originally used as part of architectural ornamentation or furniture, serving both practical and decorative purposes. (R070016)

Special Notes:
The alternating squares (checkerboard pattern) at the top are said to be a simplification of a continuous pattern of petals or buds. The pattern extending downwards, with straight lines and small rhombuses, is a symbolic representation of flower stems or calyxes. This is a classic example of the "geometricization of natural motifs," characteristic of the transition period from Art Nouveau to Art Deco that was popular in Europe from the late 19th to early 20th century.
