About the Item

Title: Japanese Autumn and Spring Flowers: Antique Lithograph, 1880s Description: This stunning lithograph from the 1880s captures a delicately rendered arrangement of Japanese autumn and spring flowers, symbolizing the cyclical beauty of the natural world. Published by Sampson Low & Co. and printed in Paris by Imp. Lemercier & Cie, this elegant work was directed by G. A. Audsley, a British artist known for his deep respect for the artistry and symbolism found in Japanese design. Set against a rich black background, the composition features an array of golden and red leaves alongside delicate blossoms in white and pale yellow, suggestive of cherry blossoms and seasonal flowers. The detailed branches and soft shading of the leaves create a harmonious interplay of color and texture, evoking the tranquil beauty of a traditional Japanese garden. The subtle use of gold highlights within the lithographic technique imparts a luxurious sense of depth and shimmering light, capturing the refined elegance of Meiji-era aesthetics. The careful arrangement of these floral elements speaks to the reverence for nature and the seamless blending of seasonal motifs that define Japanese decorative arts. This piece embodies the spirit of the Japonisme movement, which captivated European collectors and designers in the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the cultural dialogue between East and West. Condition report: Excellent condition overall, with slight foxing and minor age-related discoloration at the edges, typical for prints of this period. The colors remain vibrant and the intricate details are beautifully preserved, retaining their timeless appeal. Framing tips: Frame this lithograph with a simple black or dark wood frame to ground the warm tones and highlight the refined composition. A soft cream or warm beige mat will create a subtle contrast, allowing the shimmering gold and delicate floral details to stand out, bringing a touch of Japanese tranquility and sophistication to any space.
