AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Important 19th-century Isabeline fan on bone with gilded abaniquera - Spain.
Exceptional old Spanish fan from the Isabeline period (19th century, circa 1860-1880), elegantly preserved and presented in its original semicircular display case (abaniquera) made of richly carved and gilded wood.
The frame is entirely made of bone, displaying superb relief work, intricate pierced lacings and finely cut details of great precision and technical virtuosity. The leaf bears a beautiful polychrome painting with historicist and romantic character, depicting a courtly scene with several period figures integrated into a classic landscape with architectural and floral features.
The abaniquera that protects the piece is in good aesthetic condition, enhancing the overall presentation and turning it into an imposing collectible piece for wall display and high decoration.
Overall, it presents a good decorative state, retaining the original patina and the natural wear expected for a piece of about 150 years. It appears to have undergone minor restorations on the fan, but I cannot be certain as it is inside the case and I did not open it.
Seller's Story
Antiques are my enormous passion; all the items I have up for auction were found at antique fairs and from antique dealers mainly in the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original and obviously beautiful. Quality guarantee and very careful shipping of the pieces.
ATTENTION: If you are interested in one of my pieces that has a reserve price, please note that I will absolutely not offer it for less than 80% of the reserve value of the piece. And I should also note that if that piece is not sold here on Catawiki, I will sell it at another auction house, so if you’re really interested in any of my pieces, buy it when you see it the first time.
Thank you very much
