Beautiful pair of Italian hand-painted maiolica tiles, likely Sicilian or Neapolitan, depicting traditional occupational figures: Caciuffaro (basket seller) and Pagliaro (barrel / straw carrier). Vivid folk-art painting, rustic craquelure, and old nail holes consistent with age.
Cavaffaro – a woman carrying a basket of linens or goods on her head
Pagliararo – a man hoisting a large barrel
Executed in the classic maiolica style with earthy tones of ochre, blue, green, and sienna, these tiles celebrate everyday rural life. Each tile is mounted with old wire loops for wall display, and shows authentic wear, glaze crackle, and edge chipping consistent with age.
Origin: Italy
**** SEE MY OTHER LISTING FOR A RELATED PASTORAL TILE - can be purchased together for a complete set of 3.
