Antique hand fan 1900s folding fan w red silk silhouettes of buy children w windmill LARGE handfan w wooden handle, boudoir ladies accessories
This is a large antique silk hand fan with red handpainted silk silhouettes of children
Early 1900s
The beige silk hand fan has a cut design with red silk of silhouettes of children, these have hand painted faces and details in their cloths
Surrounded by hand painted wind mill, birds in the sky, fence, grass etc
This design is just stunning, think of the hours and hours of work on this fan
The wooden folding pieces have a metal ring
On the back of the handfan there is a faint handwritten text (i think it is Spanish)
Probably a text for a gift to some one or memory
A stunning and rare addition for the collector of antique handfans
I have never seen a handfan like this one!
In a vintage condition: as shown on the pictures, stains on the silk, buy a small spot where the silk needs to be refixed to the wooden handle (easy to do), in my opinion this does not detract from the beauty of this gorgeous accessory
Sizes when open : 13.6 inches high (34cm) and 25.6 inches wide (64cm)
It is a large size
Much prettier in reality than on the pictures
