Vintage Made in Italy Hand Painted Portrait Tile in Chunky Rustic Wood Frame

Add a touch of old-world European charm to your space with this striking vintage Italian decorative tile. Framed in a chunky, distressed wooden surround, the thick ceramic tile features a beautifully hand-painted profile portrait of a Renaissance-era woman in the classic majolica "bella donna" style. The artwork boasts a rich palette of deep midnight blue, vibrant teal, and earthy ochre, accented by elegant scrollwork motifs at the top and bottom. What makes this piece truly stand out is its rustic mounting: the tile is secured to the wood frame by four heavy, oxidized metal brackets, giving the entire presentation a remarkably authentic, vintage character. Perfectly suited for Dark or Light Academia interiors, Moody Vintage gallery walls, or Mediterranean-inspired spaces, this piece carries a distinct historical presence. The reverse is marked "Made in Italy" alongside an incised cross, and it features an attached rusted metal loop that is ready for immediate hanging. It remains in wonderful vintage condition, with the natural dings, scratches, and patina on the wooden frame only adding to its rich, time-worn appeal.

VINTAGE & ANTIQUE
Vintage and antique items are pre-owned and aged goods. In most cases, we do not clean or polish any items that come into our shop. Once you remove an item's traces of age and patina it's not something you can reverse, so we leave those activities up to the buyer. We do not disassemble found art from their frames unless it is necessary to differentiate a print from an original piece of art. Vintage prints purchased from this shop could originate from any print media (e.g., magazines, books, photographs, art prints, etc.). We try our best to describe items accurately and disclose any and all flaws and imperfections. Please refer to pictures as a visual description. We want to make sure you are happy with your purchase so, please do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have prior to checkout.

SHIPPING
As much as possible, we utilize recycled shipping boxes. The box you receive your item in may show signs of wear and pre-use.

PHOTOGRAPHY
All photos are taken in natural light and we do not use any photo filters and do not perform any photo editing (other than basic photo cropping). Depending on your monitor settings, there may be subtle differences in color once you see your item in person.
