Japanese Floral Textile Pattern Print by G. A. Audsley, Paris, c. 1882

About the Item

Title: Japanese Floral Textile Pattern Print by G. A. Audsley, Paris, c. 1880 Description: This stunning color lithograph, published by Sampson Low & Co. and printed in Paris by Imp. Lemercier & Cie under the direction of G. A. Audsley, is a masterful celebration of Japanese textile design during the late 19th century. Produced around 1880, it exemplifies the artistic fascination with intricate botanical motifs and harmonious compositions that captivated European audiences of the time. The print features a captivating pattern of stylized peonies rendered in vibrant shades of red, blue, green, yellow, and white, all set against an earthy brown backdrop enhanced with subtle blue wave-like stripes. The flowing vines and delicately detailed leaves offer a dynamic yet balanced composition, demonstrating the meticulous craftsmanship and refined sensibility of Japanese textile art. This design’s rich colors and harmonious arrangement speak to the timeless elegance of traditional Japanese aesthetics, where nature’s motifs are transformed into evocative patterns of enduring beauty. What makes this piece particularly fascinating is its role as a bridge between cultures. At a time when Europe was swept up in a wave of Japonisme, such prints offered Western collectors and designers a window into the refined artistry of Japanese craftsmanship. The blend of vibrant color contrasts and the rhythmic pattern of vines and blossoms make this an exquisite example of the global cross-pollination of artistic ideas during the late 19th century. Collectors of textile design, fans of Japanese art, or anyone with an appreciation for historical patterns will find this lithograph a delightful and inspiring addition to their collection. Its timeless appeal ensures it remains a charming accent in any setting. Condition Report: Very good condition with bright, unfaded colors. The paper shows minor edge toning typical of age, but no significant flaws detract from the visual impact. Framing Tips: A simple black wooden frame or natural wood frame with a light cream or beige mat will highlight the vivid floral pattern and create a harmonious contrast with the muted background. For a striking effect, consider a thin red or green accent line within the mat to echo the vibrant floral hues.

Traditional Japanese Woodblock Print by Nishijima Katsuyuki
Located in Weesp, NL
