Antique CHINESE carved MOTHER OF PEARL brise FAN animals people buildings DRAGON
Beautiful Chinese Mother of Pearl fan from the 19th century. Two guardsticks and 20 inner sticks, all delicately and intricately carved. TWO of the inner sticks are BROKEN, but they are there. It needs to be re-ribboned. Both guards have figures and a scaled creature that looks to me like a dragon? One side of the fan has a central, oval vignette, containing figures, and all the rest of this side has figures, buildings, and, in the very tips of each stick, different animals and birds. The other side of the fan has figures and buildings and, in the tips, men who seem to be performing various tasks, such as fishing. Guard length approx 7.5 inches or 19cm.
