Three Reinaert Restaurant Souvenir Tiles

Title

Three Reinaert Restaurant Souvenir Tiles

Description

2000? Three souvenir tiles from the (former) restaurant "Reinaert" in Sint Niklaas Waas, Belgium. Artist FVI. 4.25" square. Hinged for hanging. Made in Belgium: Décor Naniot, Antwerp. Unknown source.

The three tiles come from a restaurant that in 2012 apparently became "Het Wijnhuis." While only one of the three pictures a fable scene, I am happy to include those celebrating Renard in two of his major moments, with his victim rabbit and with his supposed pilgrimage companion

FG

Reynard sits with Cuwart the hare, messenger from the King, before inviting him in. He will give him to his family as food and send his head back to the king!

After his outrageous handling of Cuwart, Reynard is warned by his relative Grymbart the badger, that things are negative at the court. Reynard had pledged to go to Rome as a pilgrim and still wears his pilgrim outfit. Reynard will of course always prevail in the end!
