Habert Dys is known for his fanciful decorative designs for ceramics, wallpapers, textiles, vases, etc. His work is intricate and exquisite and reflects the Japanese influence at the time. Habert Dys' works are found in museums and library collections around the world and are often sold at auction. This image is one of a series we are offering; please see companion images in our shop. It is a botanical inspired design of the chysanthemum blossom. It was originally a design for wall paper patterns. It is a delicate motif. Please note that background sprays of blossoms are done with metallic gold inks. This is quite rare and unique to this period. This feature is most exquisite and is even more beautiful in reality as the scan can't quite capture its beauty. The lithograph is pristine with clean borders. it is signed in stone by the artist. 10 x 13.5 inches in size. Image is 7.25 x 10.25. Works by Habert Dys have become more difficult to find with the passage of time. This, along with the others offered in our shop, would make a wonderful home decor statement. See less
