Groep van 21 tegels horend bij de schoorsteen afkomstig uit het gebouw van de West-Indische Compagnie 1650 - 1675

This collection of 21 Delftware tiles, dating back to the 17th century, is a testament to the Dutch Golden Age's fascination with maritime trade. Depicting a variety of sailing ships, likely those used by the West India Company (WIC), the tiles were originally part of a fireplace surround. The anonymous artist captures the ships with a meticulous attention to detail, showcasing the intricate rigging and sails. These tiles offer a glimpse into the economic and cultural significance of maritime trade in 17th-century Dutch society. The collection is housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcasing the Dutch mastery of Delftware and its role in domestic decoration.
