About the Item
Japanese Floral Motifs on Golden Background: Antique Lithograph, 1880s
This enchanting lithograph from the 1880s showcases an intricate arrangement of vibrant Japanese floral motifs, set against a warm, golden background that exudes refined elegance. Published by Sampson Low & Co. and printed in Paris by the esteemed Imp. Lemercier & Cie, this artwork was overseen by G. A. Audsley, a British artist celebrated for his masterful interpretations of Japanese design.
The composition bursts with colorful botanical patterns, featuring red, blue, green, and yellow flowers carefully intertwined along a lattice of stylized bamboo supports. Each delicate bloom and leaf is meticulously rendered, capturing the harmonious beauty of nature in the Japanese decorative tradition. Circular crests at the top of the image add a further layer of visual interest, reflecting family emblems or cultural motifs that were popular in the late Meiji period. The neutral golden tone of the background enhances the vibrancy of the flowers, making them appear almost three-dimensional in their subtle layering.
This lithograph is part of a series that introduced Western collectors to the captivating art of Japan during the height of the Japonisme movement, blending precise printing techniques with the refined simplicity of Japanese design. The piece’s balance of form and color evokes a sense of calm sophistication, making it a superb addition to any collection of Japanese art or antique prints.
