Antique Chinese Silk Hand Fan in Gold Gilt Convex Glass Frame

Description

Antique Chinese Silk Fan in Gold Gilt Convex Glass Frame. Acquired through an estate sale, so we do not have the actual history. The fan looks like a bridal fan with a silk tassel. Small cork piece on the tassel has writing on it. The leaf has been identified as hand painted silk because of the raised dots and most of the paper fans were lithographs that were mass produced. Most likely wood sticks, but possibly bone.
Frame is 24” wide x 18 1/2” tall. The fan is 16” wide displayed on ivory/cream velvet. Fan and frame show wear consistent to age and fragility.
