Wooden Oriental brisé fan dating from 1850–1900, presented in a gilded display case with red velvet base, measurements 74 × 43.5 × 5 cm.
Description from the seller
Refined brisé fan of likely oriental manufacture, dating from the late 19th to the early 20th century, characterized by extraordinary pierced and carved work.
Each rib is decorated with a rich repertoire of geometric and floral motifs, executed with great precision and continuity along the entire surface. The upper part is embellished with a succession of finely worked floral elements, while the base preserves elegant decorative details incised. Completing the fan is a light-colored tassel applied at the central pivot.
The fan is presented inside a large suitably shaped display case designed to follow its open form. The red velvet background creates a strong contrast with the light tone of the fan, while the gilded frame, with its pleasant patina of time, gives the whole an especially elegant and scenographic appearance.
The front glass protection has allowed it to be preserved as a true display object, turning it into a decorative piece with strong presence, ideal both for a collection of fans and Oriental decorative arts and as a sought-after furnishing piece.
- Case dimensions: 74 x 43.5 x 5 cm
- Conditions: The piece presents itself in good overall condition, with normal signs of aging and slight wear to the gilding of the frame, consistent with its age. The fan appears well preserved and the richly detailed work is clearly legible. The photographs are an integral part of the description and show in detail the state of conservation.
An unmissable opportunity to enrich your collection with a piece of rare elegance and high decorative value. An authentic jewel of times past that awaits a new home.
