A set of five Portuguese faience tile panels, each tile panel consisting of 30 tiles and each tile measuring 14x14cm. Each tile panel is painted in blue with various scenes of tennis being played throughout history. Faience is a pottery technique where a terracotta body is covered by a glaze that includes tin oxide to give an opaque white ground. This technique was originally developed in the Middle East and often used in Europe to imitate Chinese porcelain before the secret of the method of making porcelain was discovered. The technique was much used in Portugal for making tile panels painted in blue and referred to as azulejos. Circa 20th century. UK COLLECTION

Carvalho ABC LImited

My name is Marco Carvalho and I am the Sole Trader of Carvalho ABC Limited, a business I established in September 2022. After having worked for a decade in the antique industry for another business, I have now decided to sell my own stock that I built up during that period and from a previously private collection. I specialise in reselling antiques, books, and collectable items. Within those categories, I have items listed such as Ancient Civilisation Antiquities, Art, Chinese Snuff Bottles, General Antiques, and Visiting Card Cases to mention but a few. I cover a wide variety of antiques, books, and collectables; my range encompasses everything from affordable items that promote beginners and new collectors to those that satisfy the demands and tastes of the more mature and serious collector. I refer to auctioneers, and antique and art experts for the authenticity of my stock to advise me and my customers on their demands and needs, always ensuring confidence and provenance. My mission is to give a unique service to my customers and to ensure their satisfaction with the items that they purchase from me, with authenticity and quality. I always strive to serve better.
