The research was most interesting and involved consulting the Wellington-, the National Army- and the Guards Museums. Having had no success here, I extended my research to the Netherlands, and eventually with the help of various museums, antique tile experts and an auction house, arrived at a date of circa 1816.
The probable name of the painter: Aalmis, and of the ceramic factory: De Blompot (the flower pot) in Rotterdam. It is believed to have been made after an engraving by F.AS. Langendijk.
The tableau depicts the crowded battlefield at Waterloo with the Duke of Wellington seated on horseback amidst six further high-ranking officers, and showing two running Scottish regimental guards presenting him with the Napoleonic banners surmounted by the Imperial Eagle. The size is 50.7 x 63.2 cm.The scene is painted in a purple (manganese) colour which was then more popular
than the earlier popular blue.
Judging by the many existing Dutch paintings and etchings, there must have been some enthusiasm in the Netherlands at the outcome of this battle in which the previously disposed Dutch ruler had participated after he had been replaced by Napoleon's brother. In the course of our research we found three other, smaller. but
related, although not identical, tile tableaux, including one showing the Prince of Orange having sustained an injury, all most likely from the same pottery.
The restoration process was very interesting and I visited the studio in Harlingen, Friesland, several times. The restorer, Mr. Rikus Oswald, made photographs of the entire process and I enclose a few of these pictures from which you can see it from beginning to the end.
As I mentioned, I undertook the restoration out of a feeling of guilt, but had no place in my home where outside the older part of the building most rooms are decorated with Oriental antiques of which we have a large collection. I therefore decided to sell it at auction in Amsterdam, but then was asked to withdraw it from the sale by the
then current Duke of Wellington (he has now died) who was interested in it for his personal collection. Unfortunately, he was not prepared to pay the price of £ 7,000 which I had quoted on the advice of the restorer and he passed it on to his son who is
the present Duke. Since I have not heard from him I have decided, having reached the age of 86, to dispose of it. If you are interested you would be most welcome, although we would have a problem with transport as the tiles which are still loose are very fragile. My main concern is to find a suitable home for this unique piece. If you are not I would quite understand, and would appreciate the return of the photographs?
Having been a long time collector of Dutch wall tiles, I have in my possession a tableau depicting the presentation of the captured eagle standards of Napoleon's army to the Duke of Wellington. Of course the Emperor does not appear in the scene, which
must represent the nadir of his military career. Maybe this would not appeal to an admirer of the Emperor, although it is definitely a part of history. We have seen the actual eagle standards in the Wellington Museum in London.
The framed tableau was obtained by me in a small hamlet in Friesland (in the North of the Netherlands) from a demolition contractor who removed wall tiles for sale. This was in 1966, but although much of my tile collection was installed in the kitchen and
pantry areas of my house I did not use this particular tableau because the other tiles were all blue and white while this one was in manganese colour. I put it away and actually forgot about it until the early 1990's when I discovered that most of the tiles had broken due to shrinkage of the wooden frame. I put the shards away in a shoe box until 1995 when I visited the Princessehof Ceramic Museum in Leeuwarden in Friesland where the Curator gave me the name and address of an internationally known professional tile-restorer. As an Antique collector I felt guilty about the destruction of an interesting art object and therefore obtained a quotation to include the replacement of five missing tiles at the top of the tableau which had already been absent when I acquired it,
The restoration took six years, partly taking so long because of the time it took to research the authentic style used for the missing tiles, which consisted of the border and some clouds, partly to reconstruct, on a damaged corner of a central lower tile, the
missing first two words of the painted tableau inscription. Eventually. it was found that the full wording (translated from Dutch) had read: 'The moment when the conquered eagles are presented to the Duke of Wellington'. I now have the full tableau back in its original glory!
