A RARE DELFTWARE FIREPLACE INSERT & HEARTH attributed to the Dutch tile maker J van Hulst and made in Harlingen, Friesland in the 19th century. The polychrome tiles depict river and coastal scenes and are decorated with pigments made from metal oxides; cobalt for the blue, manganese for the purple or black and copper for the green.
Dutch, late19th century.

Notes: The term Delftware is derived from the Dutch town of Delft where from the seventeenth century many potteries produced hand-painted tin-glazed pottery of high quality which was exported all over the world and as they were mainly applied to walls and fireplaces, they belong to the history of architectural ceramics. The fired pottery tiles would have been covered with an opaque white tin glaze and would then have been decorated as in this case with river & coastal scenes. The end of the many centuries the old Harlingen tradition was signalled when the Van Hulst family closed their factory in 1933.

'GATHER YE THE ROSEBUDS'
A 20th century Art Nouveau style stained glass tryptich of maidens in a woodland setting. The enamelled logo at the back of one of the panels states ' Glashaus 88 ', they were a Glasgow company of stained glass makers and restorers who were commissioned to make the panels in 1988 for The Princes Casino in Glasgow.
With restorations. Signed & dated 1988.

The figures in the central panel are very similar to those depicted in a window designed in 1902 by Ernest Archibald Taylor (1874 -1951), who trained at the Glasgow School of Art, for the industrialist William Weir entitled 'Gather Ye the Rosebuds'. His panel is illustrated in the book Scotland's Stained Glass by Michael Donnelly, image below.The title is probably a reference to the poem by Robert Herrick (1591 - 1674)

'Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old Time is still a-flying:
And this same flower that smiles today
To-morrow will be dying.'

It points to springtime with a warning and awareness of the swift passage of time and with it the inevitable loss of youth and beauty.

One of four Portland Stone Keystones removed from the facade of St Thomas' Hospital London bearing the carved profile of Florence Nightingale surmounted by a representation of her famous lamp which as a nurse tending the wounded during The Crimean War she carried before her at night searching the battle fields for the fallen. The sight of her lamp shining through the dark brought hope to those waiting to be found.

She had been consulted by the Architect Henry Currey about the design for the new St Thomas' which was moved from it's 17th century site in Southwark to Lambeth Palace Road across the River Thames from The Houses of Parliament where it was opened by Queen Victoria in 1871. The design of separate blocks rather than in one large building which brought light and air to the wards was probably due to her influence.
