Title: Japanese Lacquer and Textile Tray Designs: Antique Lithograph, 1880s
Description:
This exquisite lithograph from the 1880s depicts two examples of traditional Japanese tray designs, one richly embroidered textile pattern and the other a beautifully detailed lacquer design, rendered with stunning precision and nuance. Published by Sampson Low & Co. and printed in Paris by Imp. Lemercier & Cie, this piece was directed by G. A. Audsley, a British artist whose passion for Japanese design permeates every delicate detail of this composition.
The upper tray features a lavish textile border of rich red peonies and green foliage against a golden hexagonal-patterned ground. The luxurious embroidery conveys the opulence and refined taste that characterized Meiji-era textiles. The precision of the design and the rich contrast of colors create an almost three-dimensional effect, giving the impression of lush blossoms and luxurious silken textures.
The lower tray displays an elegant gold lacquer design, featuring softly undulating lines, delicate plants, and a gentle flow of natural elements. The subtle golden tones are enhanced by the heliogravure technique, which captures the luminous effect of traditional Japanese lacquer work. The restrained color palette and flowing composition evoke a sense of calm and quiet sophistication, emblematic of the refined beauty of Japanese decorative arts.
This lithograph is a stunning representation of the Japonisme movement that captivated European collectors and designers in the late 19th century, offering a window into the harmonious artistry and technical mastery of Japanese craft. It would be a beautiful addition to any collection of Japanese art, antique prints, or anyone seeking a refined and historically rich decorative piece.
Condition report:
Excellent condition with minimal foxing and slight edge discoloration typical of its age. The colors remain vivid and the details are beautifully preserved, offering a timeless glimpse into Japanese decorative traditions.
Framing tips:
Frame this lithograph in a simple dark wood or black frame to anchor the refined colors and highlight the intricate details of the design. A soft cream or warm beige mat will provide gentle contrast, allowing the vibrant red flowers and delicate golden lines to stand out and transform any space into a celebration of Japanese art and elegance.
