About the Item

A 19th Century Passion Of Christ Triptych by the Campbell Brick Tile Co. This set of 3 tiles are thought to make up a larger set of Encaustic tiles depicting different symbols of the Passion. Presented as a thematic triptych dating to circa 1870. The first tile (left) is held in both the British Museum and V&A. However, they are not in this striking and unique vivid blue colourway. Incorporating the cross, rope, ladder and fleur-de-lis in the corners. A scroll inscribed 'INRI' unrolls across the tile, which is Latin for 'Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum' - Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews. The centre tile is a depiction of the 'Pelican in her piety' which is a medieval design representing Christ's sacrifice for humanity's salvation. The tile on the right depicts the 'Arma Christi,' the weapons of Christ. This tile features a hammer, pincers, a spear or lance, a sponge and a pot, representing the tools used during the crucifixion. Campbell Brick Tile Co Campbell Brick Tile Co, based in Fenton, Stoke-on-Trent, was founded by Robert Minton Taylor in 1869. The company was later bought out by Colin Minton Campbell in 1875, who continued Taylor’s business initially as Minton Brick Tile Co. In 1875, he changed the name to Campbell Brick Tile Co. This was after tile manufacturers Minton Hollins, previously Minton Co, had taken out a court order to stop Taylor and Campbell using the Minton name for tile production. The company traded as Campbell Tile Co from 1882 and was absorbed by H R Johnson-Richards in 1968.
