Cream Satin Floral FanContext
Cream Satin Floral Fan, 1850-1900
11 ¾ in.
Backed silk leaf with carved ivory sticks. The painted leaf features a delicate spray
of antique roses and buds, along with a single spray on the right-hand side of the
fan. The sticks are delicately pierced, and likely were produced in China. The motif
of the anchor does not connect in any way to the painted leaf, a common disjunction between leaves painted in the West and joined to sticks produced in the East.
