Antique Chinese Mandarin 1000 Faces Hand Painted and Sandalwood Fan with Case.
This is a Wonderful & Antique Chinese Mandarin 1000 Faces Hand Painted and Sandalwood Fan with Original Case. Exquisite hand painted details throughout the gouache paper with elaborate scenes on both sides. Original Chinese hand carved sticks, making the fan so delicate. Each stick is pierced with an identical design, alternately reversed to create a repeated pattern. The piercing is extremely fine, and would have required great skill with a tiny jeweler’s saw. Very good condition as pictured. Measures: 47 cm opened. A RARE ORIGINAL ITEM!
The box is too decorated with figuritive work, small damages to the box commensurate to age, the fan is in fine condition. Any more questions are welcomed.
Thank you
