About the Item

Medieval floor tile from the Gravensteen Castle – Ghent, 14th–15th century Rare red earthenware floor tile decorated with a heraldic lion, incised and inlaid with yellow slip under a transparent lead glaze. Size : 15 × 15 cm, thickness 1.5 cm. Excellent condition – complete tile with fine old patina. Provenance: Gravensteen Castle, Ghent. Unearthed during the restoration works led by architect Joseph de Waele between 1887 and 1893, when numerous medieval tiles were discovered. A handwritten note on the back reads: “Tegel – Gravensteen Gent / Genaadig gegeven van Bompa / Kompare / voor Simone”, indicating an early family gift originating from those excavations. Authentic Gothic-period piece, comparable to examples preserved in the STAM – City Museum of Ghent. A rare and historical collector’s item.

Rare Gothic Oak Panel Carved With Vine And Grape Cluster Motif, Circa 1320–1400
Located in Bilzen, BE
"Rare Gothic Oak Panel Carved With Vine And Grape Cluster Motif, Circa 1320–1400" Rare Gothic Carved Oak Panel with Vine & Grape Motif, c. 1320–1400 This exceptional carved oak panel is a fine example of pure Gothic design, originating from Northern Europe—most likely Flanders, northern France, or England—and dating to the early–mid 14th century.

The design is entirely Gothic in conception, free of any later Renaissance influence, with flowing, organic tracery rather than strict symmetry.
