Japanese Chrysanthemum and Cloud Patterns: Antique Lithograph, 1880s

About the Item

Title: Japanese Chrysanthemum and Cloud Patterns: Antique Lithograph, 1880s Description: This beautiful lithograph from the 1880s features two elegant examples of Japanese textile patterns, capturing the refined artistry and natural harmony of Meiji-era design. 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 celebrated for his deep appreciation of Japanese decorative arts. On the left, a stunning composition unfolds in rhythmic layers of stylized clouds and elaborate dragons, punctuated by intricate medallions that echo traditional Japanese motifs. The rich color palette of deep blue, emerald green, warm gold, and earthy red imbues the design with a sense of grandeur and opulence, typical of high-quality Japanese brocade. On the right, a refined pattern of chrysanthemums and scrolling foliage fills the field with delicate movement and natural beauty. Each flower is carefully outlined and filled with a palette of soft reds, greens, and muted golds, set against the same deep blue background that evokes a sense of quiet elegance. The flowing design speaks to the Japanese appreciation for the cyclical nature of life, capturing a moment of serene beauty within the intricacies of nature. These panels are part of a celebrated portfolio that introduced Western audiences to the sophisticated patterns and symbolic richness of Japanese textiles. They offer a striking glimpse into the Japonisme movement of the late 19th century, making them ideal for collectors of Japanese art, lovers of historical textile design, or anyone looking to bring a sense of refined beauty into their space. Condition report: Very good to excellent condition with minimal foxing and some age-related spots at the margins. The colors remain vivid and the fine details are superbly preserved. Framing tips: To highlight the elegant colors and intricate patterns, frame this lithograph in a simple black or dark wood frame. A cream or warm beige mat will complement the soft tones and allow the designs to shine, creating a sophisticated and timeless focal point in any interior.
