The gorge to the verso is painted in similar fashion to the recto. Slim cream silk tassel. Contained in a wood fan box, lacquered in black with gold decoration, the lid exterior showing a bird. Guard length 8 inches or 20.5cm

Sold for £90

. The fan is in good clean order. The box has suffered with scuffing and grazing to the lid and the corners and part box end missing.
