About the Item

Title: Japanese Brocade Patterns in Red and Gold: Antique Lithograph, 1880s This exceptional lithograph from the 1880s showcases two captivating Japanese textile patterns that exemplify the refined elegance and intricate beauty of Meiji-era design. Published by Sampson Low & Co. and printed in Paris by the master printers Imp. Lemercier & Cie, this piece was directed by G. A. Audsley, whose lifelong passion for Japanese art and design shines through in the careful rendering of these stunning motifs. The left pattern features a sophisticated interplay of circular floral motifs in red, green, and gold, creating a harmonious and richly textured composition. Delicate crests and traditional geometric shapes are nestled within each circle, providing a sense of order and rhythm that is visually captivating. The palette of deep reds and muted greens, accentuated by golden highlights, evokes the luxurious feel of Japanese brocade, a textile art form known for its opulent beauty and rich cultural symbolism. The right panel presents a dynamic arrangement of horizontal bands, each showcasing intricate floral and animal motifs in vibrant reds, blues, and greens. Stylized peonies and mythical creatures appear against the warm red background, creating a sense of movement and vibrancy that speaks to the lively spirit of Japanese decorative arts. The interplay of colors and forms creates a visual tapestry that is both elegant and dynamic. These patterns reflect the Japonisme movement that captivated European audiences in the late 19th century, blending Eastern and Western aesthetic sensibilities in a celebration of beauty and craft. This lithograph is a superb addition to any collection of Japanese art, antique textiles, or those who appreciate the rich cross-cultural dialogues of the era. Condition report: Overall very good condition with minimal foxing and some light age-related spots along the edges. The colors are bright and the patterns remain sharply defined. Framing tips: Frame this lithograph in a simple dark wood or black frame to anchor the vibrant patterns and highlight their refined elegance. Use a cream or neutral mat to provide contrast and keep the focus on the intricate textile designs, creating a striking centerpiece in any interior.
