Description:
Take a look at this most amazing hand fan - signed on the fan ring Tiffany & Co 14k. The base and end sticks are mother of pearl with scrolls and floral designs carved right through the mother of pearl. It is then lavishly enameled or overlaid with real gold and silver. All of the lace is incredibly embroidered with tiny gold sequins. In the center of the fan t is a silk panel which is a watercolor painting - signed at 5 o’clock with the signature of the artist which appears to be “A Fray”. As you can see the central painted scene is of two women in colonial dress sitting on a park bench as a gentleman comes calling. This magnificent fan is in its original silk covered lined box marked Tiffany & Co inside and having the initials “H G” in gold on the box top. T is a label on the bottom of the box of “C Leviele” maker and repairer of Fans Shell and Bric-a-Brac 12 east 37th St New York. The box has a bit of soiling on the outside as you would expect. The Fan is in an excellent state of preservation although sadly it has split on the central 2 sections of the fan right on the watercolor painted part - but all in all I feel that this fan is very rare. It should be a simple repair for the fabric restoration artist. The fan has all 18 sticks and is very sound other than those two splits that I mentioned earlier. Closed it measures 9 5/8” long x 1 5/8” at widest – open it measures 18” at widest. Striving For Excellence It isn’t brilliance or just getting the breaks, It is consistent attention to & honest respect for the Customer.
