AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Exquisite antique gala fan presented in its original noble wood vitrine with gilded frame, ready to be displayed on the wall.
The framework is finely crafted in genuine mother-of-pearl (nacre), highlighted by its elegant handcrafted openwork and the characteristic iridescent reflections typical of the noble materials of the era.
The panel (the fabric/paper of the fan) shows a delicate neoclassical gallant scene painted by hand with vivid chromatic liveliness, framed by sumptuous floral motifs and gilded scrollwork.
Detail of great value to collectors: The piece bears the artist’s signature directly on the canvas (visible in the close-up images), which certifies its artisanal workshop craftsmanship.
• Material of the ribs: Genuine mother-of-pearl.
• Decoration: Hand-painted, gallant scene with gilded ornamentation.
• Presentation: Includes protective display case with glass.
• Condition: Good overall considering its age, preserving the integrity of the ribs and the freshness of its colors. (Please carefully review the detailed photographs, which form an explicit part of the state description).
An elegant decorative object and a magnificent display piece for lovers of historical fans.
