Delftware tile - Rondeau Coat-of-Arms
One of the many new 'Delft' tiles I am creating for my Umbra Sumus (We Are But Shadows) solo show at the end of this month (April 27 - 29 inclusive) in Spitalfields.
This one shows the arms (Azure three acorns Or) of the Huguenot family Rondeau who came to Spitalfields in the late 1700s to escape religious presecution in France. Every Tuesday one can find the delightful Stanley Rondeau working in Hawksmoor's beautiful Christchurch, Spitalfields, the very church his family worshipped at over 200 years ago!
