Inspiration
This rare heritage treasure of hydrangeas, made by the famous Thierry-Mieg in Alsace, has traveled through the ages to reach our hands.
It was love at first sight for our workshops.
Captivated by the obvious beauty of its light flowers, its delicate shades of original blue and by the very beautiful light emanating from the whole, we wanted to restore and enhance this gouache on paper from the end of the 18th - beginning of the 19th century in order to restore its shine, worthy of a work of art of the finest quality.
This gouache displays with joy and subtlety a whole variation of this flower from Japan, symbol of the passing of time but also of lasting love. Harbinger of the rainy season in the Levant, the hydrangea motif was well known to the Alsatian manufacturer thanks to its close links with Japan.
In the 1850s, Japan was forced to open itself to international trade and, on this occasion, sought to discover modern industrial techniques for textile manufacturing. The wool muslin for making winter kimonos was ordered from the Thierry-Mieg in Mulhouse, renowned worldwide for the quality of its designs and prints.
It will then be the fruit of a long collaboration and a fruitful artistic exchange on both sides, contributing to the development of Japonisme in France and in Europe.
