About the Item
Title: Japanese Bird and Blossom Lacquer Tray: Antique Lithograph, 1880s
Description:
This exquisite lithograph from the 1880s showcases a beautifully detailed Japanese lacquer tray adorned with an elegant scene of a green-feathered bird perched on a blossoming branch. Published by Sampson Low & Co. and printed in Paris by the renowned Imp. Lemercier & Cie, this piece was directed by G. A. Audsley, a British artist known for his admiration of Japanese art and design.
The composition is a harmonious blend of natural beauty and refined craftsmanship. The bird, rendered in soft green and brown tones, sits delicately on the branch of a flowering tree, surrounded by pale blossoms and emerging buds. The surrounding border features stylized floral patterns and subtle golden hues that evoke the shimmering richness of traditional Japanese lacquerware. The intricate detail in the plumage and blossoms, coupled with the masterful use of color and texture, captures the spirit of Meiji-era decorative arts, celebrating nature’s grace and the quiet elegance of Japanese design.
The use of negative space in the black background and the subtle tonal variations achieved through the lithographic process highlight the balance and sophistication typical of Japanese lacquer art. The red seal and vertical script add a further layer of authenticity and artistry, anchoring the scene in cultural tradition.
This lithograph is a superb example of the Japonisme movement that enchanted European audiences in the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the refined beauty and technical mastery of Japanese design. It’s a perfect addition to any collection of Japanese art, antique prints, or for those who appreciate the cross-cultural exchange between East and West during this era.
