About this sheet
This vibrant chromolithograph, Plate V from Section VII of G. A. Audsley’s seminal decorative art collection, presents two cloisonné-style urns, exquisitely detailed and richly ornamented. Published by Sampson Low & Co. and printed by Lemercier & Cie in Paris, this piece is a testament to the refined craftsmanship and artistic elegance of traditional Japanese-inspired design.
The urns are adorned with intricate floral and scrolling patterns in striking shades of teal, red, and gold, complemented by accents of ivory. Each urn is depicted from a unique perspective to highlight its delicate symmetry and ornate handles. The decorative stands, featuring intricate latticework and gilded motifs, provide a stately base that further enhances the elegance of these vessels.
This print is a remarkable representation of Audsley’s dedication to showcasing the beauty of Oriental art forms and would be a centerpiece for any collection focusing on decorative arts or 19th-century chromolithography.
Condition: Very good, with vibrant colors and fine details. Minimal foxing consistent with age, not detracting from the overall presentation. Provenance: Published by Sampson Low & Co., printed by Lemercier & Cie, Paris
An ideal piece for framing and display, this print adds a touch of sophistication to any collection or interior décor.
