Japanese Fan Motif Textile Design: Antique Lithograph, 1880s

About the Item

Title: Japanese Fan Motif Textile Design: Antique Lithograph, 1880s This elegant lithograph from the 1880s beautifully captures the refined artistry of Japanese textile design through an intricate fan motif pattern. Published by Sampson Low & Co. and printed in Paris by the expert printers Imp. Lemercier & Cie, this piece was directed by G. A. Audsley, a British artist and architect known for his fascination with Japanese aesthetics. The composition features a harmonious arrangement of fan-shaped motifs, filled with delicate floral designs and rendered in a sophisticated palette of green, gold, red, and earthy browns. Each fan is intricately patterned with blossoms, scrolls, and decorative flourishes, creating a tapestry-like effect that radiates elegance and balance. The background of muted green adds depth and tranquility to the piece, while the repeating pattern of fans and ornate forms evokes the meticulous craftsmanship and cultural richness of Japanese textile arts. This lithograph exemplifies the Japonisme movement that swept through Europe in the late 19th century, bringing the refined beauty of Japanese design to a captivated Western audience. The balance of intricate detail and harmonious composition in this piece is a testament to the enduring appeal of Japanese decorative arts and Audsley’s skill in translating them for Western eyes. It will make a wonderful addition to any collection of Japanese art, textile design, or antique prints, and serves as a striking visual statement in any interior. Condition report: Very good condition overall with minimal foxing and slight edge wear consistent with age. The colors remain vivid and the fine details are beautifully preserved. Framing tips: To best showcase the rich colors and detailed patterns, frame this lithograph in a simple dark wood or black frame. Use a neutral mat in soft cream or beige to create a balanced presentation that allows the elegant design to take center stage, making it a sophisticated focal point in any space.
