New York Subway BH Tile| Item # | | 15710 | | Size | | 6" x 6"
15 x 15 cm | | Price | | $32.00 | | About this item | | | The elaborate decoration at Borough Hall celebrates the subway's arrival in Brooklyn just ten years after Brooklyn joined New York City. At intervals along the top of the wall, set in a deep mosaic frieze, are heavy bas relief wreaths with a "BH" monogram in the center. Susan Tunick's research indicates that they are the work of the Hartford Faience Company.
Images of the ceramic mosaics and plaques of the New York subways are chemically imbedded into our tiles. This process makes it possible to capture the detail and color of these pieces despite the decades of accumulated grime and muted subway lighting. We couldn't climb up and wash the panels, but properly lighted and photographed, they do come alive!
Decorative, high-glaze ceramic tile with metal hanger on back. | | |  | | |  | | | |
