For such an easygoing pattern it is surprising that not more are seen nowadays perhaps because it temded to be used on walls rather than in fireplaces and furniture. This is a rare example perhaps more for the collector than interior designer, for it bears an unusual stamp verso. Typically the company's tiles bore pattern and registration numbers this has the registration number, on the next line the name Chrysanthemun, the next line the cryptic cypher C,4, 12 and beneath the date 1884, this group also appears in the company's pattern book. Above the group is the pattern number No. R in the usual style print. The apparent reason for the special treatment is that it is the first design registered by the company, presumably this in the first lots made. So quite a historical piece in its own way, the company became one of the most productive of the times including making the most popular floral tile of the late 19th century. Verso quite clean, printed marks as detailed above.   Information Tiles For Sale Contacts Order Information
