Tiled Wall
The use of tiles in interiors increased considerably from the seventeenth century, primarily because they were easy to clean and for their fire-resistant properties. These tiles were produced in the eighteenth century, of which the decoration of the corners is a telltale sign. At that time the corners were decorated subtly, if at all. Attention was focused on the illustration in the middle, the adornment. These tiles from a closet in the Librije or Library are decorated with a variety of landscapes.
