Spectacular Czech Art Nouveau DECO tile by RAKO with custom iron table

Item #1493 SOLD

Here is the story, these are original tiles made in Czechoslovakia pre 1930′s. I was able to buy 8 of them in Montevideo, Uruguay about 1.5 years ago where they had been saved from a building that was being demolished. From what I’ve learned Uruguay was a sort of haven for great European tile work pre world war 2. Some real preservation going on here. I took a special trip there from Buenos Aires just to pick these up as It is almost impossible to ship directly to Argentina (I regress on this point). I personally carried the 8 tiles back to Buenos Aires on a boat. These are the most spectacular tiles I’ve ever seen. They are totally deco with wild colors and very interesting to look at. Almost psychedelic. I had this table designed to hold the tiles, which have been set into the top and now make the most marvelous side table you could imagine. There is only ONE table available, (the other I am using, so don’t even ask)! Rako is a company still doing business in ceramics, housing materials in Czech Republic, promoting their 125th year anniversary.
