Antique Trent Tiles 18" Majolica Fireplace Mantle Flute & Lute Players Framed

Description

Antique Trent Tiles 18" Majolica Fireplace Mantle Flute & Lute Players Framed.  Great old fireplace surround tiles.  The tiles themselves measure approx. 18" x 6".  Framed they are approx. 21.5" x 9.5".  These tiles are not in anywhere near perfect condition, but still display very well as framed.  The flute player has two horizontal breaks which have been repaired, extreme crazing and abrasions at the hat, flute and shoe.  The lute player has extreme crazing; it has caused a crack on the front, but no cracks on the reverse side are seen.  It also has abrasions on the hat and finger.  Frames are heavy rustic wood.  One has a hole on the back as shown, the other (flute player) has a knot on the right side from which a tight crack emanates.  It should be fine with a little glue.
Please see all the photos.
And now the small print: I am in the business of treasure hunting and recycling cool vintage items and collectibles for eBay in a region where they are still found at auctions, garage sales, and flea markets. No warranties are expressed or implied, all vintage items are in as found condition. In an effort to make my items a real bargain, I generally leave cleaning and sometimes repair to the buyer. Every effort is made to describe items to the best of my ability, and I always take great care in packaging items. I'm happy to say that 99% of my eBay transactions have been positive. I believe in the eBay community to do the right thing, as I try to do myself. If there is a problem with your purchase, please let me know before you leave feedback, because I can't take care of a problem I'm not aware of. My goal is for you to be 100% satisfied with your purchase and your eBay experience, so check my feedback and bid or buy with confidence. Payment is due within 3 days from end of auction. Combined shipping is available on multiple purchases. Please feel free to email me with any questions you may have. Thank you for your interest!
