✨ BAROQUE-STYLE HALBERDIER TILE PANEL ✨

Elevate your décor with this majestic 68-tile panel depicting a life-sized halberdier, hand-painted and glazed in cobalt blue. Reminiscent of the Baroque era—often known as the “period of the masters”—it channels the opulence seen in grand Portuguese palaces, including the famed Palácio da Mitra. Notice how the upper portion of the halberd and part of the figure’s bust are cut to follow the panel’s flowing contours, adding to its dramatic presence.

Historically, halberdier panels were installed along staircases to transform ordinary entrances into spectacular, operatic scenes—greeting palace guests with a sense of ceremony. Designed at full scale, these imposing figures became actors in a regal “stage,” bestowing an unforgettable welcome upon visitors. Impressively large and steeped in tradition, this rare find is a perfect statement piece for collectors or anyone seeking to bring museum-worthy Portuguese heritage into their space.
