Pair of Framed Japanese Embroidery Art Portraits
Located in Atlanta, GA
Artistically framed for display in a slight shadow frame with non-reflective pixie glass, these pair of embroidery art panels from Japan are dated circa 1910-1930s, end of Meiji to early Taisho period. This period was the peak of the Japanese oversea expositions, when all things Japonisme took Europe and America by storm and left long-lasting impact on western art and design. The influence, however, was clearly not one-directional; As when Japanese artists, artisans and dealers experienced western art, it in turn inspired and impacted on the aesthetics of the Japanese art made for the western tastes. An interesting crop of art forms quickly emerged with a particular outlook that bridged the east and west, with the fundamental techniques still rooted in Japanese traditions. These rare hyper-realistic embroidered portraits were such an example. They took the essential format of the western portrait that permeated the Victoria and Edwardian Society, but substituted with exotic Japanese subjects and executed in traditional embroidery techniques which had been perfected for centuries by the natives.
The two portraits on offer, one an elder man with long white beards and a pair of round spectacles lighting a pipe, and the other a grinning man with a peasant attire, were both set in black background, stimulating an appearance of Classic western oil painting or perhaps even the photograph. The fine stiches were maneuvered into an impressively hyper-realistic imagery that was far removed from the traditional Japanese embroidery...

Pierre Frey “Budapest” in Carmine Carved Velvet 22" Down-Filled Pillows - a Pair
By La Maison Pierre Frey
Located in Winder, GA
Magnificent carved velvet with a dominant linen pattern of Hungarian stitch, characteristic of the 17th century.
Fabulous woven pattern. For those interested, A Hungarian stitch is one of the oldest needlepoint techniques and employs three long stitches combined with two shorter ones to deliver, roughly, a diamond-shaped result. Shades of rose, red, green, yellow….very intricate in carved velvet. The end pattern gives a Missoni-inspired reinvented flame stitch of sorts.
As an aside, this is by far the most costly fabric in my inventory. I feel somewhat compelled (but not too much) to apologize for the pricing. But recently through an odd set of events, I found myself in a factory on the border of Belgium and France. Pierre Frey fabrics (and some being crafted for The Orient Express) were on their looms and I was captivated. Pricey…for sure…..worth it…no question.
This listing is for a pair of plush down-filled pillows. They will be crafted using Pierre Frey Budapest...

Art Deco Cabinet Attributed to Eliel Saarinen
By Eliel Saarinen
Located in Atlanta, GA
Rare dining cabinet attributed to Eliel Saarinen (father of Eero Saarinen) designed before his immigration to the United States. In a style that we now refer to as "Art Deco," this style was considered the "National Romantic Style" in Finland - essentially a twist on what became known worldwide as Art Deco - with its strong vertical lines and medieval references.
The workmanship of this cabinet and its materials is magnificent. Note the carefully matched panels of golden masurbjork (Burl Birch root), the intricate carvings of medieval knights (very similar to those guarding Saarinen's Helsinki Railway Station built in 1906) and the high contrast of golden and dark birch wood - seen again in Saarinen's furniture designed in the United States in the late 1920s.
While Saarinen's son Eero went on to become the more famous of the two, it was Eliel who could be considered the grandfather of Nordic Art Deco...
