Description

Small chapel (formerly part of the earthenware factory de Perceleyne Fles) because of the front facade clad with cream and grey-white glazed tiles. In the decorations - largely in Art Nouveau forms - gold, blue and green glaze were also used. The virtually square facade is symmetrically constructed, on the corners pilasters with Art Nouveau "capitals"; in the middle an entrance with above it DELFT and a protruding circular segment. On either side of the entrance above a protruding plinth a false niche, consisting of a heavy "lintel", which is carried by slender small columns and on which between two circular segments a mask-like female head in relief rests; between the small columns three diamond heads. Above the false niches a divided window with Moorish windows. Above the windows a broad moulding with 3 coats of arms, between which fruit garlands and St. James scallop shells. The facade is closed with a gutter moulding on modillions, beneath which stylized guttae hang and between which a convex moulding with leaf ornament runs. The gutter moulding is corniced at the corner pilasters and raised in the middle; in the niche beneath the raising the year 1911. Above the corner pilasters a truncated obelisk on pedestal.
