Antique c1895-1905 Embossed Die Cut Middle Eastern Woman Wall Hanging 14”
⸻
Description
Offered is a beautiful antique embossed chromolithograph die cut depicting a woman dressed in richly detailed traditional Middle Eastern-inspired attire, reclining against luxurious cushions beside an ornate Moorish-style table holding a decorative vase of irises.
The artwork is exceptionally colorful and features heavy embossing, metallic highlights, and remarkable detail throughout. Pieces of this quality were produced during the golden age of embossed chromolithography and were intended as decorative wall hangings or premium advertising displays.
This example measures approximately 14 inches tall by 11½ inches wide.
Based on the style, printing quality, and construction, I believe it dates to approximately 1895–1905, although I cannot guarantee an exact age or original use. It may have originally served as a decorative calendar top or premium advertising display.
The colors remain vibrant, the embossing is crisp, and it displays beautifully.
Condition
Overall very good antique condition for its age.
* Original metal hanging grommet remains at the top.
* Edge wear and a few areas of paper loss around the perimeter.
* Minor creasing from age and handling.
* One split visible on the reverse that is barely noticeable from the front when displayed.
* Light age toning and minor surface wear.
* Please review all photographs carefully as they are an important part of the description.
A striking decorative example of late Victorian/early Edwardian embossed lithography that would make a wonderful addition to a collection of antique paper ephemera, chromolithographs, calendars, advertising, or Orientalist decorative art.
