About the Item
Title: Japanese Lacquer and Inlay Fan Fragments: Antique Lithograph, 1880s
Description:
This beautiful lithograph from the 1880s depicts an exquisite arrangement of Japanese lacquer and inlay fan fragments and decorative trays, capturing the refined artistry and cultural elegance of Meiji-era Japan. Published by Sampson Low & Co. and printed in Paris by the esteemed Imp. Lemercier & Cie, this work was directed by G. A. Audsley, whose fascination with Japanese design resonates in this detailed composition.
The upper section of the lithograph showcases three carefully arranged fan fragments, each uniquely adorned with intricate motifs. These range from rich floral patterns and stylized landscapes to finely detailed textures that evoke the opulent world of Japanese lacquerware and inlay. The dynamic arrangement of the fans against the soft, neutral background allows each element to shine, capturing the harmony and precision typical of Japanese artistry.
Beneath the fan fragments, the lower section reveals a refined collection of decorative trays and layered patterns. Blossoms, fans, and scroll motifs blend seamlessly in a warm palette of golds, reds, and earthy browns. The meticulous shading and delicate lines highlight the exceptional detail and craftsmanship involved in these traditional designs, while the subtle interplay of textures conveys the tactile richness of lacquer and inlay work.
This lithograph exemplifies the Japonisme movement that captivated European audiences in the late 19th century, offering a window into the technical mastery and refined beauty of Japanese decorative arts. It’s an exceptional piece for collectors of Japanese art, antique prints, or those who appreciate the intersection of Eastern and Western artistic influences.
