18th Century Portageuse Hand Painted Tile Table F2772

Regular price $550.00

An exceptional 18th century Portuguese hand-painted tile table, showcasing the timeless artistry and craftsmanship of traditional Iberian ceramics. The top is composed of individually hand-painted tiles, richly decorated with charming figural and foliate motifs arranged in a balanced grid, centered by a striking star medallion. The soft blues, warm ochres, and subtle greens reflect the classic palette associated with early Portuguese decorative arts.

Each tile displays the character and nuance of hand glazing, with slight variations that enhance its authenticity and historic appeal. The surface bears a beautiful, naturally developed age and patina, consistent with centuries of use, adding depth and warmth to the overall presentation.

The table rests on its original antique wrought iron base, featuring elegant hand-forged scrollwork and a gracefully shaped stretcher. The iron retains its time-earned finish, complementing the aged tiles and reinforcing the table’s genuine 18th century origins.

Measures 13.25" x 13.25" x 16.5"
