Antique Japanese Ink Painting Curtain/Wabi-Sabi Tapestry/1868-1920
Located in Sammu-shi, Chiba
This is an old Japanese noren curtain. It is believed to be made from a traditional Japanese fabric called asa or basho, made from banana leaf fibers. Noren curtains were originally hung at the entrances of shops and homes, gently blocking outside views and breezes while also conveying a sense of the presence of people and the changing seasons, a presence born from Japan's unique lifestyle and culture. More than simply a room divider, noren curtains also quietly convey the aesthetic sense of the people and businesses that inhabit them. The greatest appeal of this work lies in the ink paintings executed on the fabric. The moon, bamboo grass, rocks, and flowing river are depicted, making ample use of the white space, creating a tranquil worldview reminiscent of Chinese and Japanese landscape paintings. However, the depiction is by no means verbose; the bamboo grass is depicted with minimal, omitted lines, and the river is not depicted in full, leaving it to the viewer's imagination. In the center, a full moon is depicted only as an outline, and its understated depiction evokes a sense of transience and lingering beauty. A two-character signature can be seen in the corner of the painting, but details about the artist are unknown. However, noren curtains painted directly onto them in ink like this are extremely rare, and I have only seen them a few times before. I think it is particularly noteworthy that such poetic, highly refined pictorial expression has been applied to a noren curtain, which is supposed to be a practical item. Over the years, the entire fabric has taken on a slight brownish tinge, taking on the depth and tranquility that only comes with aging. This color blends with the pale ink colors of the ink, quietly blending into the space without making a strong statement. It pairs particularly well with white walls, and I highly recommend using it not only as a noren curtain, but also hanging it on the wall like a tapestry for viewing. I believe that just hanging one in a space will bring a sense of dignified space and the depth of time. Size & Specifications Cloth Width: Approx. 87.5 cm Height: Approx. 150.5 cm Cloth Thickness: Very thin (approx. 0.05 mm; exact measurements not taken) Top Bamboo Rod Length: Approx. 98.5 cm Item Number OB314 It's impossible to say when we'll ever be able to find another antique noren...

Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene – Antique German Chromolithograph, c. 1895
Located in Langweer, NL
Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene – Antique German Chromolithograph, c. 1895 This striking late 19th-century German chromolithograph depicts the moving biblical moment in which the risen Christ appears to Mary Magdalene following the Resurrection. Christ is shown standing in quiet majesty, halo radiant with divine light, His right hand placed gently over His heart in a gesture of compassion and reassurance. Mary Magdalene kneels before Him with deep devotion, her long flowing hair and rich garments emphasizing both humility and reverence. The composition is set within a tranquil garden landscape, traditionally associated with the Resurrection narrative, reinforcing the spiritual symbolism of rebirth, forgiveness, and divine mercy. Christ’s red tunic and deep blue mantle radiate warmth and solemnity, while the soft golden halo creates a luminous focal point that draws the eye immediately to His face. This scene, known in Christian tradition as *Noli Me Tangere* (“Touch Me Not”), represents one of the most emotionally powerful moments of the Gospel story. It became a highly favored subject in Catholic devotional art of the late 19th century, commonly displayed in prayer corners, chapels, religious schools, and family interiors. Produced using high-quality chromolithography, this print achieves exceptional painterly depth, with delicate shading in the flesh tones, refined folds in the drapery, and beautifully layered landscape colors. The gold highlights of the halos and the saturated reds and blues are especially well preserved, reflecting the superior production standards of German devotional publishers during this period. This is a visually commanding and spiritually meaningful artwork, highly desirable for Catholic collectors, sacred art interiors, and serious devotional art collections. CONDITION REPORT Good antique condition overall. Light, even age toning to the paper consistent with late 19th-century chromolithographs. Minor edge wear and very gentle corner softening visible upon close inspection. No major stains, no tears, and no restoration observed. Colors remain strong and vivid. FRAMING TIPS This print will display beautifully in a classic gilt or softly antiqued gold wooden frame to echo the sacred halo tones. For a more restrained interior, a dark walnut or black lacquer frame with a wide ivory mat and museum glass will create a dramatic devotional presentation.

Shop Unique Furniture on 1stDibs

When it comes to shopping for vintage, new and antique furniture — whether you’re finally moving into that long-coveted loft apartment, ranch-style home, townhouse or furnishing your weekend house on the lake — you should think of your home as a stage for the seating, tables, lighting, storage cabinets and other pieces that best match your personality.

Coziness, comfort and creating a welcoming space are among the important things to consider when buying furniture, whether that means seeking strict cohesion or rooms characterized by a mix-and-match assembly of varying shapes, colors and materials. And for those who now work from home, exercise, eat and relax within the same four walls every day, they’ll also want to think about flexibility and an innovative approach.

Have you built your dream kitchen?

Is your current living-room furniture all that it could be?

Does your toast-worthy bar or vintage bar cart exude equal parts class and cheeriness?

And importantly, is your home officebackyard or otherwise — a happy one, regardless of the design style you happen to gravitate toward?

Although mid-century modern, rustic, minimalist, Art Deco and contemporary looks remain popular, they aren’t the only styles available to design connoisseurs.

Furniture styles are nothing if not fluid, meaning what’s popular one year may not be the next. That’s why it’s crucial to not only pay attention to interior-design trends but also focus on the styles that speak to you. That way, you (and your interior designer, if that is in the plans) can work to create a home that’s entirely your own, complete with impressively modern decor as well as an array of history’s universally renowned iconic designs.

It’s difficult to single out well-recognized designs from what is a crowded pantheon of celebrated and seminal furnishings. Certain outstanding designs have such stellar quality they’ve endured for decades as bona fide cultural treasures, still being manufactured, in many cases, by the same venerable companies that shepherded them into being (think Herman Miller, Knoll and Fritz Hansen). Some works come immediately to mind as contenders for any short list. When you’re discussing the most popular mid-century modern chairs, for example, no tally would be complete without citing designs by Arne Jacobsen, Charlotte Perriand, Charles and Ray Eames and Hans Wegner.

Good furniture, be it authentic vintage furniture or new custom furniture, allows you to comfortably sit and tell your favorite stories. Great furniture tells a story of its own.

On 1stDibs, find everything from sofas to serveware to credenzas to coffee tables, and every other type of antique, vintage and new furniture you need to create a singular space that you’ll be proud to call home.
