Tile Wall Art by J. Belarti of Harlequin Musician

An attractive mid 20th century tile wall art piece. This is signed J. Belarti and shows a Harlequin style clown figure playing a mandolin. - J. Belarti is a design brand known as Juliette Belarti about whom little is known, but who may not actually be an individual, but instead a Belgian Artists group, perhaps involving the Belgian ceramicist Julien de Covemaeker. - Belarti are known for tiled top tables with colourful designs as well as this form of wall art. - The tiles are mounted on painted black wood, which is framed in a strong and heavy black iron frame, with a hanging strut and bracket at the back. - The figure is made up of five square tiles and shows a harlequin style musician with a mandolin, in black and white clothes with a blue background. This will look fabulous in a mid century interior, perhaps complementing a tile top table by the same design team. Material: Tile, Wood & Iron Newark Antiques & Interiors, Kelham Rd, Newark Ng24 1BX.
