As part of our Japanese works of art collection we are delighted to offer this finely rendered Meiji Period (1868-1912) textile study of a sea eagle, the majestic bird of prey captured in a striking pose upon a rocky outcrop amidst a choppy sea. The talented artist has worked the silk in various colours and stitching styles to portray the eagle�s feathers and facial features in fine detail. Softer tones of silk are used to create the backdrop and landscape which cleverly contrasts the bustling water crashing against the rocks. The tapestry is bordered with a silk brocade and sits behind glass within its lacquered frame. The backboard bears the all-important label for arguably the most highly revered manufacturer of the period, that of the Sozayemon Nishimura, with outlets in Kyoto and Tokyo Nishimura were to become suppliers to the Imperial household.Condition report:�The silk sits behind glass and remains vibrant with minimal signs of fading and very little wear.Approximate sizes:Width: 28�� 71 cmHeight: 30�� 76 cmEagle image only: 20� x 22� �- 50 cm x 56 cmFree worldwide delivery and a certificate of authenticity are included within the price of this item.Members of LAPADA (London and provincial antique dealers association)As members of LAPADA all our stock is guaranteed.The golden chandelier symbol displayed in a window or at a fair is the sign of membership of LAPADA, the Association of Art & Antiques Dealers.
