Decorative 18th century Italian Maiolica Faience Tile Panel, vividly painted and beautifully presented within a custom frame. Composed of hand-painted tiles, the scene depicts a playful putto (cherub) seated upon a branch, gently patting the head of a bird. The composition is rendered in hues of golden yellow, cobalt blue, green, and warm earth tones. The putto is derived form classical antiquity, symbolizing innocence, love, and divine presence.
In modern homes, this tile can be used as a wall accent, and can add texture and history to any gallery wall. It will complement antiques and classical decor as well as provide old-world contrast in contemporary settings.
