Object history
Shown in the Paris 1867 Exhibition, these tiles were bought as examples of modern French tile manufacture. The pattern was called'Moorish style'. Sèvres, as a national manufactory, was subject to periodic reviews. A result was the setting up of new departments and the development of improved techniques. Painting, glass and enamelling schools were opened and subsequently closed between 1820 and about 1870. These tiles date from the directorship (1852 - 1871) of Henri-Victor Regnauld, who set up a research department to support the production of garden and architectural wares.
