A 19th Century Chinese Goose Feather Fan, Qing Dynasty, mounted on sturdy bone sticks, ribboned in the style of a brisé fan and trimmed on the verso to enable a section of feather to be seen from the rear. The large, gently curling cream feathers have been delicately painted, in mainly pink and lilac, with roses, smaller flowers, and foliage, the lower section featuring two tiny colourful birds. Basic silver metal loop.
Guard length 9.5 inches or 24cm, overall height at centre 15 inches or 38cm
Not Sold

 

. Reasonably good. The monture is sound, the upper feathers are a little crumpled and bent, and the painting is somewhat rubbed.
