About the Item
Title: Japanese Textile Patchwork Motif: Antique Lithograph, 1880s
Description:
This vibrant lithograph from the 1880s showcases an intricate patchwork of Japanese textile patterns, artfully arranged to highlight the diversity and rich heritage of Meiji-era design. Published by Sampson Low & Co. and printed in Paris by the skilled printers at Imp. Lemercier & Cie, this piece was directed by G. A. Audsley, a British artist renowned for his fascination with Japanese art and textiles.
The composition features a dynamic mosaic of geometric patches—each one adorned with its own distinct pattern, from swirling floral and vine motifs to stylized geometric designs reminiscent of Japanese kimono fabrics. The color palette of earthy reds, muted greens, golds, and deep indigo creates a harmonious interplay that captures the refined sensibility of Japanese craftsmanship. Each shape—whether a pentagon, hexagon, or irregular polygon—contributes to the overall rhythmic flow of the design, while the intricate details of the patterns speak to the technical mastery of Japanese textile artists.
This lithograph is a fine example of the Japonisme movement that captivated European audiences in the late 19th century, offering a window into the rich aesthetic traditions of Japan. It would make a wonderful addition to any collection of Japanese art, antique prints, or textile history, appealing to those who appreciate the intricate dialogue between color, pattern, and form.
