DESCRIPTIONS: Step into the romance of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when East Asian artistry captivated Western fashion and interiors. Hand-painted on fine paper and mounted on sturdy wooden ribs, it features iconic motifs—peacocks, florals, and birds—symbols of grace and opulence. Each stroke reflects the era’s fascination with exotic beauty and the craftsmanship that defined luxury. Perfect for styling as a dramatic prop, displaying as a collector’s piece, or gifting to someone who appreciates timeless sophistication.
HISTORY: Known as sensu in Japan and shan in China, folding fans have been integral to East Asian culture for centuries—evolving from practical tools into artistic and ceremonial objects adorned with intricate paintings and calligraphy.
By the late 19th and early 20th centuries, these fans became coveted exports to Western markets, often hand-painted on silk or paper with motifs like peacocks, flowers, and birds. Crafted with bamboo or wooden ribs, they reflected both skilled craftsmanship and the era’s fascination with exotic elegance. Today you can find these used for interior decorating purposes, hung from ceilings or walls as decorative art.
CONDITION: This item is in overall, excellent, gently worn, vintage condition with some surface wear.
