THIS IS A STUNNING ANTIQUE CHINESE SILK FAN FEATURING ELEGANT HAND PAINTED FLORAL MOTIF STICKS, BLADES, GUARDS AND SHOULDERS ~ IT ALSO HAS A BEAUTIFUL DELICATE HAND EMBROIDERED FLORAL SCENE ON THE RIBS THAT IS VERY DETAILED WITH VIVID REDS, GREENS AND YELLOWS ACROSS THE WIDTH
THIS FAN ALSO FEATURES AN EXQUISITE HANDLE END WITH AN ELEGANT HOOK AND ORNAMENTAL TASSLE, AND WHAT APPEARS TO BE A MOTHER OF PEARL PIN HOLDING THE ENTIRE MECHANISM ~ THE STICKS ARE HAND-PAINTED BUT ALSO ENGRAVED/CARVED WITH MORE FLORAL ORNAMENTATION ~ THE GUARDS ARE UNIQUE AS THEY FEATURE A "NATURAL GRAINING" THAT LOOKS LOVELY AND YOU CAN SEE THIS IN OUR PHOTOS
THIS CHINESE SILK FAN IS AN ANTIQUE ITEM AND ALTHOUGH OBVIOUSLY WELL-CARED FOR BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER, WILL HAVE CONDITION ISSUES AS IS EXPECTED IN ITEMS OF THIS AGE. THIS WOULD INCLUDE STAINING TO THE LEAVES IN A FEW SECTIONS, SILK THREAD FRAYING, DELAMINATION ON THE LEFT HAND GUARD (FACING YOU) AND ONE SECTION IN THE REAR WHERE THE LEAVES HAVE WORN AWAY FROM THE STICKS BUT ALL OF THIS COULD BE REPAIRED IF REQUIRED, OR JUST LEFT AS IS AND ENJOYED, IT IS FULLY FUNCTIONAL
