Royal Delft Tiles are famous symbols of Royal Delft, the city of Delft, the country of Holland, the iconography of ships and flowers and windmills, and of the love of ‘blue and white’ cultures everywhere. This pattern is inspired by all those who love blue and white. The soothing tones of Portugal, China, Holland, Sweden, and many more. The perfect imperfections of tiles, each collected and beloved now can go hand-in-hand with the wallpaper that collects some of these together. Add to your collection of new tiles with antique tiles you discover in little antique shops and alleyway markets. Mix fabric and wallpaper with actual tiles for a layered, textured bathroom, bedroom, or kitchen. It is a dream to work together with the artists at Royal Delft to bring the iconic looks made famous over 400 years of porcelain creation to new categories of wallpaper and fabric.
Royal Delft Heritage is a tossed floral pattern that we designed, inspired by many of the signature elements of Royal Delft’s master painting techniques: leaves, chrysanthemums, and branches. These small elements together work as an all-over floral in crisp blue and white in a manner that is timeless and a reminder of how brief life can be. Scattered in all directions, the symbolic chrysanthemums have a provenance originally cultivated in China. The chrysanthemums made their way to Japan by Buddhist monks in 400AD. Soon after their introduction, the Japanese were so enamored with the beautiful flowers that they were soon adopted as the Emperor’s crest and official seal. ‘Kiku’ is the Japanese word for chrysanthemum, and every year there is a National Chrysanthemum Day, which is referred to as ‘the festival of happiness.’ the chrysanthemum, as painted by Royal Delft master artists in Delft blue, is known as a symbol of peace and tranquility.
The Royal Dutch Delftware factory, “De Koninklijke Porceleyne Fles/Royal Delft” was established in 1653, at the beginning of the Delft movement, creating unique blue and white ceramics and is the last remaining original Delftware factory. The world-renowned Royal Delftware is still entirely hand-painted according to a centuries-old tradition, and as such, the brand has created certain iconic pieces that are recognized world-over by collections. The inspiration for ‘Collections’ is the Royal Delft collectors themselves—their passion, obsession, love—we hope as they add pieces, to eventually assemble a complete collection of beloved Royal Delft. They will reference this pattern as their map. Inspired by the uniqueness of each piece, Royal Delft Collections is an assemblage pattern of key pieces of the Delft blue and white plates, wall plaques, vases, and other key pieces of the original blue collection.
Royal Delft Imperial is inspired by the stately Royal Delft plaque collections lining dining walls, staircases, hallways, and home entries which passionate collectors placed in formation on the walls of grand houses, palaces, and refined apartments, showcasing their curating skill and porcelain love! Among aristocrats from the 1600’s onward, the blue and white craze in the 17th century became fevered. The passion for Delftware is still a passion among collectors.
