About the Item
Title: Japanese Rooster Drum Stand: Antique Lithograph, 1880s
Description:
This detailed lithograph from the 1880s features an exquisite depiction of a traditional Japanese drum stand, elegantly topped with a carved rooster figure. Published by Sampson Low & Co. and printed in Paris by the skilled craftsmen at Imp. Lemercier & Cie, this piece was directed by G. A. Audsley, a noted British artist celebrated for his fascination with Japanese decorative arts.
The rooster, beautifully rendered in naturalistic tones of red, brown, and gold, perches regally atop a richly ornamented wooden drum. Its meticulously detailed feathers and lifelike stance convey a sense of proud vigilance—a symbol of dawn and new beginnings in Japanese tradition. Beneath the rooster, the drum itself is decorated with delicate vine and grape motifs, meticulously shaded to create a tactile, three-dimensional appearance. The effect is a stunning interplay of naturalism and craftsmanship, hallmarks of Meiji-era design.
The entire composition is further enriched by the careful shading and textural details achieved through the lithographic process, capturing both the elegance of the wooden grain and the refined floral patterns. The subdued backdrop in muted green highlights the golden browns and deep reds, creating a harmonious and timeless piece of art.
This lithograph is a beautiful testament to the Japonisme movement that swept through Europe in the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the refined artistry and cultural symbolism of Japanese decorative arts. It would make a superb addition to any collection of Japanese art, antique prints, or as a sophisticated centerpiece for those who appreciate the quiet beauty of traditional craft.
