Japanese Asian Large Meiji Period Silk Embroidery Peacock Bird Flower Tapestry
About the Item
A stunning Meiji Period (1868-1912) Japanese large framed embroidery/ tapestry featuring a pair of finely detailed birds - likely peacocks in a floral garden landscape. A truly magnificent work in both scale and design - quite wonderful and beautiful to behold.
We believe this piece is from the Meiji period but it could be older, perhaps the Edo period.
From a Los Angeles Japanese and Asian art and artifacts collection.
A special work. One of the best large-scale embroidered pieces we have come across. Would be a great addition to any Japanese art collection or make for an eye-catching stand-alone accent piece in about any setting.

- Large Framed Japanese Embroidery Dragon TapestryLocated in Atlanta, GAAn impressive Japanese embroidery tapestry circa 1890s Meiji period, presented with brocade border on linen canvas in a Lucite shadow box. The stunning design features three dragons coiling and flying in the clouds. The high relief technique used to render the dragons using mostly the silver threads gives this piece a tremendous sense of motion. The most auspicious mythological creature in Japan and China, dragons were a very popular motif in textile art. In this particular piece, it is the impressive size, the superb craftsmanship, the profuse use of silver threads and near perfect condition that set it apart. Japanese Meiji textiles were widely exhibited in the west during turn of the 20th century at the international exposition. It was used to showcase the Japanese aesthetics with the techniques at their pinnacle. These expositions solidified the country's images overseas and felled the Japanese craze in the west, which turned out to be a long-lasting influence on the western art. Many pieces were purchased and stayed in the west. It is likely this estate piece was from one of the expositions based on its high quality. For two similar dragon tapestries...Category
