Description from the seller
Elegant antique French fan from the second half of the 19th century, hand-painted and featuring a refined perforated mother-of-pearl mounting and decoration.
The face panel, finely hand-painted, presents a gallant scene with figures in 18th-century costumes set in a landscape, enriched by elaborate floral decorations, rocaille motifs and gilded details.
Of particular value is the mother-of-pearl mounting, composed of numerous finely perforated slats and decorated with multicolored floral motifs.
The fan is kept open inside a scenographic display case shaped with a gilded frame, ornamental cresting and a burgundy background, which greatly enhances its display.
