A Chinese Black Lacquered Wood Cabriolet Fan, of medium size, Qing Dynasty, mid-19th century, all sticks painted with a simple floral design in grey, with a butterfly or moth on each guard. The Chinese figures on the recto have applied painted ivory faces and silk robes, and are engaged in various different activities. The lower leaf section is painted simply with flowers and fruit. The verso shows sailing ships on the river, and a colourful bird amongst flowers. Guard length 27cm

The monture is sound but one stick is adrift and outside the double paper leaf, presumably missed when some restoration has taken place to several folds on the upper part of the leaf to the verso. The leaf is rubbed on the folds.
