ANTIQUE Metal Victorian Ceiling Tile Wall TIN #1
Measures 24" x 24 3/8".
NO TWO are EVER alike! Designers will take them to display alone in any manner of decors......or frame...... or shadow box or mix and max for a desired effect. We took this one and sprayed it with a clear coat of Satin acryllic to seal the chippy paint. YOU can leave it as is....OR paint it to your desired color! We will leave that to you to decide. Many designers take these and have them framed as period wall decor.
There was a time during the 1800's when any store you walked into....on any little Main Street town in America....were using these old metal ceiling tin tiles to line every inch of their ceiling. The only thing that varied much from store to store was the intricacy of the design. They lined the ceilings of the corner pharmacy.....movie houses....furniture stores....etc. They would nail these tins directly to the ceiling. That's why you can still find the old nail holes all over them. As the years went by and the old stores were torn down to make way for the new ones....these old tins were relegated to the trash heaps in many cases. Now all these years later they have become VERY popular in all manner of interior designs. And Collectible as historical Precious pieces of Americana.
We have a source for these. He travels all over the US salvaging these old celing tins from any old buildings that are set to be torn down. He will buy ENTIRE ceilings. That's why the old ones that we have are constantly changing. Because we never know what he'll come up with next!
The tin you see is the ACTUAL tin you will RECEIVE. Original OLD chippy paint can still be found on parts of it. Some rust and holes but that's to be expected with these. It's amazing they're even still out there to be found considering their age. See the old holes where it was once nailed to the ceiling.
