Pair Antique Chinese or Thai Roof Tiles

Offered by: MJH Design Arts

Description
This is a highly decorative pair of antique Chinese or Thai Roof Tiles. The tiles are glazed in a gorgeous shade of mustard-yellow and are in very good original condition. They are mounted on high-end museum style mounts making them exceptional book shelf decorations or mantel pieces or any other type of placement. This is an uncommon form of roof tile in a stylized organic form. Asian design elements integrate well into multiple design aesthetics from mid-century or contemporary to period 18th century design. The neutral but eye-catching mustard yellow allows these roof tiles to blend into any color scheme.
