Title: Intricate Japanese Sword Guards (Tsuba) – Plate XI from Section VI of G. A. Audsley’s Decorative Art Series
Description: Plate XI from Section VI of G. A. Audsley’s decorative art collection features six exquisitely detailed Japanese sword guards (tsuba), showcasing the artistry and craftsmanship of Edo-period sword fittings. Published by Sampson Low & Co. and printed by Lemercier & Cie in Paris, this chromolithograph captures the beauty and complexity of these ornamental pieces.
Each tsuba is uniquely designed, with intricate motifs ranging from floral and natural elements to narrative scenes and mythical figures. Highlights include delicate depictions of blooming flowers, dynamic battle scenes, serene landscapes, and symbolic imagery such as dragons and samurai figures. The central aperture and accompanying side holes, designed to accommodate the sword blade and its accessories, are seamlessly integrated into the artistic compositions.
Rendered in monochromatic tones, the print emphasizes the fine details and textures of the metalwork, allowing viewers to appreciate the intricate craftsmanship and cultural significance of these objects. These tsuba are not only functional sword fittings but also masterpieces of decorative art, reflecting the values and aesthetics of traditional Japanese culture.
Condition: The print is in very good condition, with sharp details and minimal signs of age. Light foxing in the margins is consistent with its age and does not detract from the visual appeal.
Provenance: Published by Sampson Low & Co., printed by Lemercier & Cie, Paris
This rare and detailed print is perfect for collectors of Japanese art, antique weaponry, or decorative designs. Ideal for framing, it serves as a timeless testament to the artistry and cultural heritage of traditional Japanese craftsmanship.
