pair of original c. 1880's victorian era majolica fireplace mottled green glazed portrait tiles fabricated by the trent tile co., trenton, nj. the antique american tiles were likely designed by isaac broome. each tile measuress 6 x 6 inches. minor surface crazing. residual mortar carefully removed from the backside. the portrait tiles have a wonderfully detailed design, in the form of costumed women with perched birds resting on outstretched hands. the trent tile company, founded in 1882, produced a wide variety of decorative embossed tiles in numerous glaze colors during the last two decades of the 19th century. the company's first designer was isaac broome, well recognized at the time for his modeling of the human figure, face and profile. he was followed by william gallimore, a designer and modeler from england who also had a well-established reputation. over the years the company's success paralleled the country's economy overall; the factory eventually closed in 1939. priced for the pair. each measures 6 x 6 inches
