Large Mid-Century Tapestry Mounted on Black Canvas Frame

About the Item

A large and colorful mid-century tapestry or kilim that has been mounted on (or rather tacked unto) a canvas that is black - to serve as a frame. The work is very colorful with bold shades of red, orange, purple, pink, black and yellow. It looks very much like a mid-century kilim that was designed by the Polish artist E. Keszycka in the 1960's (and is reminiscent of that artist's work). It is impressive in size. Overall it is 69" H x 43.25" W x 1" D. The tapestry itself is 65" x 39.5". The piece doesn't appear to be stretched tightly over the canvas. There are some light whitish marks on the black canvas background. In person the colors seem a bit more muted than the close-up images suggest. A perfect piece for a mid-century modern vibe.

Large Framed Japanese Embroidery Dragon Tapestry
Located in Atlanta, GA
An 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...
