Japanese Fine Gilt Double Bouquet Lotus Flowers
Located in South Burlington, VT
From our recent Japanese acquisitions Original Japanese temple "blossoming lotus" flower bud stems form an attractive double bouquet. Made for a shrine altar, these flower blossoms and leaves symbolize the stages of the path toward enlightenment. The individual parts of each lotus is assembled and then joined in an arrangement of two stems and two bouquets and inserted into the vessel. Called "Jyôka" and they are placed on or next to an altar in a Buddhist temple. In Buddhism, the lotus is an important symbol of divine enlightenment because it blooms into beautiful flowers while growing in mud. Tsunehana means "a flower that continues to bloom forever" and "a flower that does not wither." For this reason, the flowers represented are in different stages of their life, unfolded lotus leaves, buds and full flowers, thus symbolizing the journey towards Buddhist enlightenment. This lovely Japanese gilt Lotus...

Kimono Tapestry “The King of Peacocks” , Japanese Art, Japanese Hanging Scroll
Located in Shibuya City, Tokyo
Kimono Tapestry "The King of Peacocks" by Kimono-Couture ・Kimono Art ・Japanese Art ・Japanese Hanging Scroll 【Description of Kimono Art by Kimono-Couture】 Kimono Art is a form of Japanese Art that utilizes the highest quality vintage kimono obi, meticulously crafted by Kimono-Couture artisans. Japanese obi, traditional crafts that embody advanced skills and deep dedication, are painstakingly produced through numerous intricate steps. The colors and patterns of these obi hold various wishes and meanings. However, as Western culture has become predominant, the kimono culture has declined, and today, opportunities to appreciate its beauty are limited to special events like weddings and graduations. Therefore, Kimono-Couture takes on the challenge of reviving these obi as works of Framed Wall Art & Kimono Tapestry. Kimono-Couture skilled artisans are responsible for every aspect of the process, from sourcing the obi to the completion of Kimono Art, enhancing the beauty of these obi to the fullest. In the following, we will explain the wishes and meanings woven into this Kimono Art. 【Description of this Kimono Art "The King of Peacocks"】 This Japanese kimono tapestry is the only one of its kind in the world. It has been carefully and meticulously embroidered by Japanese craftsmen. We are proud to present this Kimono tapestry, embroidered with peacocks and flowers of the four seasons on a silk fabric based on the traditional color called “Kinari.” The peacock symbolizes “compassion,” “fertility” and “good health.” Because its life force is so strong that it eats poisonous snakes and insects, the peacock is believed to ward off evil spirits and prevent against “misfortune” and “suffering.” Japan is famous for its drastically different seasons. As the colorful flowers bloom, we can sense that the seasons are changing. Each of the flowers on this piece are carefully chosen. Plum blossoms, wisteria, and cherry blossoms in the spring; iris and hollyhock blossoms in the summer; chrysanthemum blossoms and grapes in autumn; and peony blossoms in the winter. This is a wonderful Japanese tapestry...

Solid cast brass with polished finish. A company that has always attributed such great importance to the author of the designs could never forget the great figures in history. That is why the BD catalogue of contemporary creations has always included those by admired classical masters. Antoni Gaudí (1852/1926) is, without doubt, the most internationally well-known Spanish architect. But is not only his buildings and brilliant architectural solutions that have travelled the globe. His integrated conception of architecture led him to pay attention, not only to structural calculations, but also to all the decorative elements, including furniture, that would form part of the building. The admiration felt by modern designers for the furniture designed by Gaudí has not gone unnoticed by BD which was the first company to rescue them from history by embarking on their serial production using...

Antique and Vintage Asian Art and Furniture

From Japanese handmade earthenware pottery, originating circa 14,500 B.C. and adorned with elaborate corded patterns known as jōmon, to natural elm case pieces and storage cabinets built in Qing dynasty–era China to mid-century Thai rice-paper charcoal rubbings, antique and vintage Asian art and furniture make for wonderful additions to all kinds of contemporary interiors.

Eastern elements elevate any home’s decor. Introduce zen sensibility to your living room, dining room and bedroom with the neutral color palettes and the natural materials such as rattan, bamboo and elm that we typically associate with traditional Asian furniture. Decorative handwoven embroideries and textiles originating from India and elsewhere on the continent, which can be draped over a bed or sofa or used as a wall hanging, can be as practical as they are functional, just as you wouldn’t seek out Japanese room-divider screens — often decorated with paintings but constructed to be lightweight and mobile — merely for privacy.

With everything from blanket chests to lighting fixtures to sculptures and carvings, it’s easy to tastefully bring serenity to your living space by looking to the treasures for which the East has long been known.

For British-born furniture designer Andrianna Shamaris, the Japanese concept of beauty in imperfection isn’t limited to her Wabi Sabi collection. She embraces it in her New York City apartment as well. In the living area, for instance, she retained the fireplace’s original black marble while swathing its frame and the rest of the room in bright white.

“We left the fireplace very clean and wabi-sabi, so that it blended into the wall,” says Shamaris, who further appointed the space with a hand-carved antique daybed whose plush pillows are upholstered in antique textiles from the Indonesian island of Sumba.

In the growing antique and vintage Asian art and furniture collection on 1stDibs, find ceramics from China, antiquities from Cambodia and a vast range of tables, seating, dining chairs and other items from Japan, India and other countries.
