ORIGINAL DELFTS BLUE!
In 1935, Dutchman Prof. Dr. Max Euwe defeated the then reigning world champion, Dr. A.A. Aljechin of Russia. And with that, Max Euwe became the first and only Dutch chess world champion ever.
A unique sporting achievement never equaled in the Netherlands. This evocative tile celebrated and immortalized it. It is also an artistic expression entirely in keeping with the spirit and preferences of the 1930s, before WWII had even begun.
The tile dates from 1935, is original and intact, even with the hanging string still attached. It has lain unnoticed and untouched in a drawer for all those years.
