Here is a rare opportunity to own a sought after special edition FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT flower tile. Quai de valmy /paris FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT. VERY EARLY ON IN HIS CAREER , A YOUNG ARCHITECT, NAMED FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT DESIGNED THIS TILE FOR THE LUXFER PRISM COMPANY. BECAUSE OF ITS EXTREMELY LIMITED PRODUCTION this particular design IS RARER than RARE. THIS LIMITED PRODUCTION VERSION IS QUITE A BIT heftier and CHUNKIER than other luxfer tiles manufactured. HERE all PRISMS are longer + LARGER. THE embossed facial design is a flat line with minimal protrusion vs. A more typical semi rounded trace. And the PRISM reverse is EXTREMELY REFLECTIVE – almost mirror like. LUXFER PRISM COMPANY’S PRODUCTS WERE WELL RECEIVED FROM THE START , allowing the company to establish a worldwide presence… Hence the QUAI DE VALMY. DONT MISS AN OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A VERY RARE , very COLLECTIBLE PIECE OF AMERICANA. THiS TILE IS A TRUE TREASURE with PREMIUM COLLECTIBILITY! Size :: 4″ x 4″ x 1/2 thick. Condition : there are a few things to state about the overall condition. Among the unique features this tile possesses , is the fact that the framework that the glass tiles sat in was also very RARE and UNCOMMON. The construction of the transom over 100 years ago came necessitated some grinding and fitting. Understandably , the tiles that were removed from the transom have choppy edges. These tiles are important historical architectural salvage. Rough edges are simply part of the luxfer story. One transom was disassembled in england – one remained intact. If you have an interest in aquiring the remaining transom, i’d be happy to speak to you about the particulars. Please feel free to contact me with any questions – amy.
