Description from the seller

The fan depicted is an antique folding fan (probably dating from the late 19th or early 20th century, in Belle Époque or Napoleon III style), characterized by a hand-painted fabric or silk sheet with romantic scenes and finished with a delicate lace edge, supported by mother-of-pearl inlaid ribs.

Main features:

• Sheet and decoration: Hand-painted fabric or silk with gallant figures or cherubs.
• Edge: Lace or lacework along the upper margin.
• Ribs (barillame): Light and finely worked material

As visible in the photographs, the fan is broken in several places. Some ribs are missing.
