Illustrated catalogue of art tiles made by J.G. and J.F. Low, Chelsea, Mass., U.S.A
An 1884 trade catalogue issued by the J. & J.G. Low firm of Chelsea, Massachusetts, presenting its art tiles to architects, builders and buyers of decorative ceramics. The pictures are plates of tile designs, often shown as relief panels, borders and corner pieces with stylised foliage, classical motifs and figures, laid out as architectural assemblies. A designer could draw on their repeating border systems, Jacobean-style leaf scrolls and modular corner solutions for pattern and surface work.
