ANTIQUE FRENCH CARVED FAUX IVORY FAN IN GILDED SHADOW BOX: Victorian Era, Bovine Bone Fan In Gilt Frame, Shell

Here we have the most amazing antique fan-shaped shadow box. There is also a second one listed and offered for sale, although this fan is in better condition.

The case is embellished with scrollwork and a shell motif on the center top and bottom. It is lined with green velvet inside. The fan itself has heavily carved sticks, with cross pattèe decoration. The ribs are covered with a gossamer leaf, hand sewn with hundreds of sparkling metal leaf and flower sequins.

Notes: Please view the numerous, detailed photos for an accurate appraisal of this item's condition. As you can see, this fan has some issues on it's right side. The fabric leaf of fan is disintegrating. The gold case that the frame was mounted in is showing its age, although we find the wear to be most charming and suitable. The gold had darkened, is the decorating is uneven, chipped and shows cracks and fine lines in the wood. The corners show separation where they meet.

Consistent with age and use.

The gilt shadow box measures 22.5 across by 14 in height at the tallest point. It is 1.5 in depth. The inner glass is 20.75 by 11.5 The fan itself is about 17.5 by 9.5. "
