This Delft blue wall plate with a diameter of 26 cm is part of the Cabinet des Fleurs collection by Heinen Delfts Blauw. Crafted from high-quality ceramic, the wall plate is decorated with a refined composition of butterflies and flowers, with the illustration gradually transitioning from light blue and white into a deep dark blue background. This distinctive colour palette is inspired by the refined blueprint technique, creating the impression that the image slowly emerges from the colour itself.
Cabinet des Fleurs draws inspiration from the art and curiosity cabinets of the 17th century, where remarkable objects were carefully collected to inspire admiration and wonder. The collection brings this historic tradition of collecting back to life through home accessories that unite lavish floral artistry, refined ornaments, exotic curiosities and iconic Delft blue motifs. Like the treasured showpieces of the Dutch Golden Age, each object tells its own story while forming part of a greater whole.
The combination of flowers and butterflies reflects the fascination with nature that played a central role in the art and collecting culture of the 17th century. The butterflies appear to float among the blossoming branches, creating a sense of movement and refinement. The gradual transition from dark to light adds depth to the decoration, allowing the botanical composition to emerge gently from the background. The result is a contemporary work of art in which nature, craftsmanship and the rich heritage of Delft blue come together.
Display the wall plate as a striking piece of wall art or combine it with the other wall plates, vases and candlesticks from the Cabinet des Fleurs collection. Build your own personal cabinet of curiosities, one piece at a time, where every object tells its own story while contributing to a harmonious whole.
