Antique hand-painted fan with frame and glass, 19th century

Antique hand-painted fan with frame and glass – nineteenth century

Description
Refined antique fan of the nineteenth century, a genuine example of decorative art and period taste.

The piece shows the quiet elegance typical of the nineteenth-century applied arts. The structure is light and finely worked. The fan is decorated with a painting done by hand.

The composition is set out in three main scenes. The figures wear eighteenth-century dress, rich and detailed. The scenes call up the gallant, theatrical mood of the European courts.

The fan is kept in a frame with protective glass. This both sets it off and keeps it safe over time.
