A lovely example of Nineteenth Century ladies attire. Length 27 cm. Open width is approximately 45 cm. There are a couple of small tears to the paper of the fan, but not affecting the images. The fan comes in its original cardboard and green velvet covered box. This is a little split to the edges and with some edgewear, but still a scarce item to find alongside the fan.

    . Bel exemple d'éventail peint à la main du milieu à la fin du XIXe siècle. Le cadre est en nacre percée et dorée. La feuille est en vélin très fin ou en papier. Elle est peinte à la gouache de chaque côté. D'un côté, une femme est assise sur un trône doré, entourée de servantes et de chérubins. De l'autre côté, une scène alpine avec un village et des villageois. Les deux sont bordés de dorures et de décorations. Le cadre présente des traces de réparation sur les deux pièces extérieures (voir photographies). Le cadre est orné d'un rivet en acier et en strass. Un bel exemple de tenue féminine du XIXe siècle. Longueur : 27 cm. La largeur ouverte est d'environ 45 cm. Il y a quelques petites déchirures sur le papier de l'éventail, qui n'affectent pas les images. L'éventail est livré dans sa boîte d'origine en carton et couverte de velours vert. Celle-ci est un peu fendue sur les bords et présente quelques traces d'usure, mais il s'agit d'un objet rare à trouver avec l'éventail.
