Title:
Antique tile by Mintons of a boy presenting a birds nest designed by William Wise
Description:
An Antique tile of a woman and a child presenting a birds nest ,hope his Mum tells him to put it back. The tile was designed by William Wise. This tile is from the Village life series of 1882 . A wonderful sharp engraving. The back is a known Minton reverse, but one of the few without the company logo or name. The design was produced in several colours this one is in a dark brown on a sepia background. The tile comes with the existing frame , it has been fixed in place using Silicon sealant ( A good choice)
Condition:
The tile is in excellent condition , However not all of the tile can be seen due to the framing. If the purchaser requests I will remove the frame from the tile and refund, if any damage either original or subsequently by me.
