About the Item
Chinese & Japanese Textile Pattern Print – Antique Lithograph of Geometric Designs, c.1869
This striking chromolithograph features a richly arranged grid of Chinese and Japanese textile patterns, showcasing both cultures' mastery of geometry, symmetry, and stylized decoration. Plate XV from L'Ornement Polychrome, it offers an engaging visual survey of traditional motifs used in weaving, embroidery, lacquerware, and printed fabrics.
The composition is divided into neatly aligned squares and rectangles, each filled with a distinct ornamental style. The central vertical panels display honeycomb-like tessellations and stylized botanical repeats against bright yellow grounds. Surrounding these are examples of intricate knotwork, rosettes, checkered fields, and floral medallions—each rendered in bold, contrasting colors.
The variety of motifs reflects both Chinese and Japanese traditions. The Chinese influences are evident in the use of meander patterns, lotus forms, and symbolic motifs such as interlocking circles and auspicious symbols. Japanese aesthetics shine through in the balanced asymmetry of floral repeats and the subtle layering of textures and linear pattern work.
Printed in Paris around 1869 by Firmin-Didot and lithographed by Deltot after designs compiled under the direction of A. Racinet, this plate was created using the chromolithographic process. This technique enabled precise layering of vivid color, allowing the complex interplay of tones and forms to be reproduced with exceptional fidelity. Such prints served as key references for Western designers seeking to incorporate Eastern design into wallpapers, fabrics, ceramics, and architectural ornament during the height of Japonisme and Chinoiserie influence in Europe.
This plate stands out not only for its visual richness but also for its historical importance in the transmission of non-Western design traditions into European visual culture.
Condition: Excellent condition. Bright, unfaded colors. Paper is clean and strong. Slight age-toning to margins and one or two faint fox marks, well outside the image. No tears or restorations.
Framing tips: A dark wood or black lacquer frame will anchor the vibrant composition. Pair with a soft ivory or muted gold mat to highlight the vivid reds, blues, and yellows without overpowering the visual complexity.
