Vintage Japanese Formal Black Silk Kimono with Pheonix Embroidery

Located in Atlanta, GA

A vintage Japanese silk Kuro Tomesode Kimono, circa 1950s-1980s. Kuro Tomesode is a dress for married woman for the most formal occasions, equivalent of the evening gowns in the west. It is overall black, decorated only with patterns of bright colors on the bottom. This kimono has three Mon family crests on the front and back shoulder. It is lined with white silk in its interior. On the front, it features exposed white stitches around neck and breast, a very subtle and elegant touch. The bottom part of the kimono is decorated with an embroidery imagery of two phoenix in flight. The lavish use of gold and polychrome threads and meticulous rendition of the birds contrast greatly with the otherwise sober black background. Pheonix is the mythical bird traditionally represents the Queen or Female Supreme in Chinese culture. Known as Hoo-oo in Japanese, Pheonix is a symbol of good fortune, power and divine wisdom and represents the sun goddess Amaterasu, the Queen of Heaven and Creation, who was believed to be the ancestor of the lines of the Japanese imperial family...

Vintage Mid-Century Modern Folkloric Handwoven Tapestry

Located in Barrington, IL

This vibrant mid-century handwoven tapestry captures a charming folkloric scene of four schoolgirls dressed in traditional attire, brought to life through a radiant palette of autumnal hues—crimson, golden yellow, burnt orange, and soft lavender. Rich in texture and emotion, the tapestry exudes warmth, storytelling, and nostalgia, making it a captivating example of vintage textile art. Reminiscent of Marc Chagall’s dreamlike murals at the Metropolitan Opera House, the composition masterfully balances expressive color with whimsical charm. Each figure is rendered with a poetic mix of abstraction and detail, lending the piece visual movement and emotional resonance. The artisan wall hanging is a perfect statement piece for mid-century modern interiors, folk art collections, or textile art galleries. Dimensions: 38" x 70" Date of Manufacture: 3rd Quarter of the 1900s Place of Origin: Europe Material: Wool Condition: Excellent The Persian Knot Gallery, SKU: 1733 mid-century tapestry, vintage handwoven wall art...
