Antique Hand Painted French Hand Fan, First Empire, c.1800-1815, Blond Tortoise Shell or Horn sealing wax it's a note padI have an entire large crate filled with antique fans. I'll be adding them as I have time, so mark our site and please come back to see them all. This one is a wonderful and early hand painted beauty, just 6 1 2" long when closed, and it's beautifully preserved. I think at some point it has had a new silk ribbon, probably within the last 80 100 years, which is stable and lovely. Each stick is worked with cutaway patterning. It opens to a full 11 1 2".
