Border Tile 1881

This "Border Tile" is a ceramic artwork created by J. and J. G. Low Art Tile Works in 1881. The tile features a repeating pattern of stylized, fan-shaped forms set against a dark background. The intricate details of the tile, reminiscent of stylized floral motifs, are characteristic of the Arts and Crafts movement, a popular artistic style during the late 19th century. This tile, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases the fine craftsmanship and artistic flourishes of the Low Art Tile Works.
