Pair of Japanese Mid-Size 6-Panel Byôbu with a Bridge Crossing the Uji River 宇治川
Located in Amsterdam, NL
A pair of exceptional high quality medium-size six-panel byôbu (room divider) with an outstanding continuous painting on gold leaf of a bridge crossing the Uji river in southeast Kyôto with a waterwheel turning next to it and surrounded by willows (yanagi). Under a moonlit sky, a golden bridge sweeps upward in a strong diagonal from the right screen to the left above the deep blue river with silver swirls. The three willows at the right, middle, and left have small, delicate leaves, which is a sign of spring. The impressive tree trunks are executed in a thick shiny layer of lacquer accentuated by sprinkled mother-of-pearl (raden) in the curves, creating more depth. The embankments are protected by four stone-filled baskets (three on the left screen and one on the right). In between the ones on the left, a waterwheel is turning in the stream. The waves created by this movement are extra emphasised by being heightened in gofun, which is the refined powder of the itabo oyster (Ostrea denselamellosa). The bridge itself is executed in glistening gold-leaf and flanked by gold-specked white railings in low relief. The scene is shone upon by the glowing silver moon high in the sky and surrounded by gold-speckled clouds. Paintings that combine willows with a bridge and waterwheel over the Uji river, are a view long celebrated in literary works such as The Tale of Genji, or associated with Buddhist beliefs in salvation. Paintings of the Uji Bridge...

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.
