"Panneau De Soie Tissée Et Brodée. Japon Période Edo. 18°siècle."
The woven silk panel is embroidered, decorated in the typical Kyoto style of the early Edo period. Sewn on a cotton base. Dyed silk threads, and silk threads covered with rolled gold ribbons. The whole is made up of three strips with identical silk decorations sewn together, their width must correspond to the maximum width imposed by the looms of the time? Certain decorations of Japanese porcelain from the lords of Nabeshima (Okawashi) from the end of the 17th century are inspired by this style of textiles.
Good condition, which is exceptional, as well as the dimensions, 171x165cm.
Mark painted in black ink.
Note the fragility of this type of embroidery, a single wash in water irremediably destroys the gold, in fact, to obtain gold threads, we use fine gold ribbons glued to paper wrapped around a thread of silk with a water-soluble glue.
