Beautiful antique glazed earthenware tile of Persian (Iranian) origin, dating from the Qajar period (19th century).
This tile features an elegant, hand-painted polychrome decoration depicting a stylized bird surrounded by floral motifs, in the artistic tradition known as "gol-o bolbol" (flower and nightingale), emblematic of Persian art.
The tile is distinguished by its harmonious composition and delicate design, which is both decorative and symbolic.
The palette—cobalt blue, green, yellow, and brown on a white background—is typical of Iranian productions of this period. The relatively rare octagonal shape likely originated from an earlier decorative architectural use.
The rough, irregular reverse side, along with the natural cracks in the glaze, attest to its authenticity and age.
An authentic piece, ideal for a collector, enthusiast of Oriental art, or for interior decoration. It can be displayed as is or incorporated into a decorative project.
Dimensions: 19.5 x 21 x 1.8 cm.
