Probably Western Europe 1940-1970 I am scratching my head over this one (and it's companion item 1174). What I do know is that this textile was found in a grouping of vintage textiles found in Scotland. Is it a European art experiment or an ethnic textile? My guess is the former. A striking design printed on cotton. Cut on three sides and selvedged on the fourth. Excellent condition. 23" x 20".

Vintage Japanese Silk Kimono Panel

Vintage Arts: Decorative Art: Textiles: Hangings Pre 1970: item #506888

Japan. 1950-1970. " Lovely vintage orange almost crepe silk with great floral motifs in many colors. This piece is unique in that it has been prepped to be "recycled". In the past, when someone could not afford a new kimono they would re-dye the ones that they had. In this case there are shadowy outlines of a new pattern on the reverse side of this fabric. Some of these lines show through a bit in the white areas of the panel." Very good condition. 13.5" x 59"

Japan. 1950-1970. " A stunning vintage silk in a deep shade of royal blue. It is completely covered in a pattern of peacock feathers in shades of white and pale and medium canary yellow. Almost every element of this piece is outlined in metallic gold as well as the centers of the feathers being rendered in at least three different shades of gold. The silk is surprisingly soft for having this much embellishment and has a great drape." Mint condition. 14.5" x 71"

Japan. 1930-1940. "Pre-WWII silk in a deep shade of regal purple. The asa (hemp leaf) pattern is done in white and a melonish pink shade. Because this is quite an old shibori, the fabric is lighter in weight than the contemporary or late vintage ones. The silk is luminous even after all of these years and has an excellent drape.

Japan. 1950-1970. "A light stone grey vintage chirimen silk covered in tropical motifs. The panel is yuzen dyed and then afterward was accented with some opaque white brushwork. Many of the florals and fronds have metallic gold outlining. Because this is a chirimen its hand is heavier than a rinzu but it still maintains a great drape. This piece is in great condition in terms of the dyed motifs. There is some patina and fading in the solid grey areas as well as a small spot at one edge. 14" ... Click for details
