Availability: 100 in stock
  • Modified Item: Yes
  • Gender: Women
  • Original/Reproduction: Original
  • Modification Description: It has been framed. I have no idea how it was tacked down to the fabric. The fabric pieces were probably added in the twentieth century for display. I don't think it has been re-painted. Unknown.
  • Look: Victorian
  • Material: Paper
  • Color: Black
  • Brand: Unbranded
  • Occasion: Special Occasion
  • Decade: Pre 1890
  • Condition: See photos. The frame is practical, not pretty. The owner took a black marker to the information on the old label on the back, unfortunately. It is possible that the fabric was added to the fan when it was placed inside the frame. It looks that way, to me. There is one cracked blade. There are two placed together. Two blades look like they have missing edges off the top. I think you can see that. 16 3/4" x 12 3/4", overall. The fan spans about 15" across and about 9" to the top of the brass looking handle. I think I see pins holding it down. I don't really know. If you collect these you know more than I do. Really lovely, in my opinion. The fan looks like it was produced during the Eastlake era. Similar in style, in my opinion. I think it is a mourning fan. Of course, I could be wrong on all my assessments. Polite criticism is always welcome. Sold as is.

    Description

    I offer free shipping. I use the USPS. If you want an alternative service or priority shipping when the item weighs less than a pound, you will have to ask for it and pay for additional services.  Shipping time frames have changed.  First class is slowing down, and this is out of my hands.  So, if you want to faster, you have to pay for it.  Sorry.
    I ship books MEDIA MAIL, NOT FIRST CLASS OR PRIORITY.  Same idea applies: If you want your book faster, you must pay additional fees.
