Title: Japanese Brocade with Mythical Creatures: Antique Lithograph, 1880s
Description:
This exceptional lithograph from the 1880s beautifully showcases a traditional Japanese brocade pattern, featuring a rich interplay of intricate motifs and symbolic figures that speak to the cultural depth and refinement of Japanese textile arts. Published by Sampson Low & Co. and printed in Paris by the esteemed Imp. Lemercier & Cie, this piece was directed by G. A. Audsley, a British artist whose lifelong passion for Japanese art shines through in the careful rendering of this pattern.
The composition is a tapestry of vivid red, green, gold, and purple hues, arranged in an elegant, repeating pattern of interlocking medallions and stylized mythical creatures. Each section of the design features delicate floral motifs, rounded geometric forms, and symbolic animal figures, including birds that evoke a sense of harmony and movement within the richly decorated surface. The bright red background is softened by the intricate layering of organic and geometric forms, creating a visual rhythm that is both dynamic and deeply rooted in Japanese textile traditions.
This lithograph exemplifies the Japonisme movement that swept through Europe in the late 19th century, introducing Western audiences to the refined and highly decorative world of Japanese textile design. The vibrant palette and meticulous patterning make this a stunning example of Meiji-era artistry, perfect for collectors of Japanese art, antique prints, or anyone seeking a visually arresting piece with historic significance.
Condition report:
Very good condition overall, with minor foxing and slight discoloration along the edges, typical for a work of this age. The colors remain bright and the detailed patterns are remarkably well-preserved.
Framing tips:
Frame this lithograph in a simple black or dark wood frame to ground the vibrant colors and intricate patterns. A neutral mat in soft cream or warm beige will draw attention to the richness of the red and gold motifs, creating a sophisticated focal point that will complement both modern and traditional interiors.
