Antique Chinese Handheld Fan - Peacock Feathers and Pierced Bone Staves – Hand Painted
Overview
An extravagant antique handheld fan adorned with vibrant peacock feathers, delicately hand painted floral details, and intricately pierced bone staves. The soft pink feathers paired with jewel-toned iridescent plumes create an unmistakably theatrical silhouette — equal parts Victorian parlor glamour and dreamy chinoiserie fantasy.
Condition
Fair antique condition with visible age-related wear throughout. Several peacock feathers show breakage and fraying, with additional delicate wear to the painted feather panels and staves consistent with age. Despite imperfections, the fan retains a dramatic display presence and opens beautifully. Please review photos carefully.
