EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Chinese-style wall hanging, dated circa 1900, showcases the rich fusion of Eastern and Western interior design trends during the late 19th century. The intricately detailed hanging is framed by a gilt pelmet and a damask valance, both adorned with gold and silver decorations. Hanging beneath are satin curtains, also embellished with gold and silver accents. The embroidered silk wall decorations, featuring traditional Chinese motifs such as masks, vases, and ikebana, add an air of sophistication and elegance to the space. The Chinese-style wall hanging is a croisee genre Chinois, a popular decorative style during the Art Nouveau period. The wooden frame, finished in red lacquer, forms the upper part of the hanging, with the embroidered silk decorations covering the lower section. The wooden mask in the center of the hanging is a common motif in Chinese art, symbolizing protection and good fortune. This stunning piece is a reproduction of an original illustration by Ernest Foussier, a French architect and interior decorator, from his publication "Nouveaux Modèles de Tentures, Decorations de Fenêtres" (New Models of Wall Hangings, Window Decorations), published by E. Thezard Fils, Librairie Spéciale d'Architecture in Dourdan, France, in 1900. The chromolithograph, a printing process that uses multiple layers of color, captures the intricacy and beauty of the original design, making it a desirable addition to any luxury room décor.
