If you're looking for something unique...a real conversation piece...this piece is it. What could be cooler than a vintage tea cart with a top made of signed Salvador Dali tiles? This is not something you find every day, and I think it's one of the most interesting things we've ever had in the store.

BackgroundDali was paid $25,000 to produce the designs for the six tiles shown below. They were produced in a limited edition and were made of terracotta with an enamel design. The cart and tiles were manufactured by Maurice Duchin in 1954. A side table was also available.

ReplyDeleteIsn't it fantastic?
DeleteI'm a Dali fan, love it!
ReplyDeleteI love the tile design...so close to geometric, but with that Dali wonky asymmetry in the blue areas. :)
DeleteAny date on the tiles? They look so "Roy Lichtenstein"!
ReplyDeleteNo, there is no date. I'll have to look at Lichtenstein's work. All I'm familiar with is his comic book style pop art.
DeleteI love your blog. This is a cool site and I wanted to post a little note to tell you, good job! Best wishes!!!
