Wild Flower Tile 12

After introducing the Wild Flower tile collection numbers 01 to 06, Royal Delft now presents series 07 to 12.

Tile Wild Flower 07 is part of the Wild Flower Series—a colorful, floral, and unique Polychrome collection consisting of six tiles and the Proud Mary Wild Flower. The tile, featuring a floral design, is created using a screen-printing technique, carefully packaged, and shipped from Delft. It can easily be combined with one or more tiles from this new (tile) series.

A Piece of Delft Blue History

In the 1960s, Royal Delft took over the Westraven tile factory. A remarkable discovery was recently made in the archive: the sketches and transfer sheets of six stunningly different floral designs from Westraven. These sketches and transfers date back to 1930. They are in excellent condition and serve as the foundation for this tile collection. Additionally, they have been used as inspiration for the skirt of Proud Mary Wild Flower. The tiles beautifully complement the latest member of the Proud Mary family.

Wild Flowers in Modern Interiors

Modern interiors are often characterized by natural influences. The designers at Westraven in the 1930s also drew their inspiration directly from nature. Flowers such as the wood tulip, the snake’s head fritillary, and the clematis, which inspired them at the time, are now taken to a new level by the designers at Royal Delft nearly 100 years later. The patterns are developed in the multicolored polychrome decoration technique, using shades of yellow, green, blue, and reddish-brown. The expertise in working with these specific colors originates from the Mediterranean region. These earthy tones form the foundation of contemporary modern interior designs.
