Wholesale Canal House No. 3 - Delft Blue - Ceramic - 13 cm

Decorate your home with the coziest little street in the Netherlands. This Delft Blue decorative house is a miniature canal house with a gabled façade, a style that was widely built in the Netherlands especially in the 16th century. These canal houses are usually tall, narrow and deep because taxes were levied based on the width of the façade. On the façade you can sometimes still see a special beam jutting out that was used to hoist merchandise up so goods were protected from floods. Amsterdam’s canal ring is on the UNESCO World Heritage List and has become an iconic image of the Netherlands. This charming Delft Blue canal house is a decorative ornament for the home. The series of houses consists of different types of canal houses, each with a characteristic façade. When you place them all side by side, you create your own picturesque little canal district.
