. Good, strong colours retained. Both guards have old nailed repairs with metal plates at the shoulders. Some wear and slight damage mid-leaf bottom edge where the sticks have come detached from the ribs. The second fan has damage to the decoupage. The upper guard lacks the first 5 cm and the other guard looks to have been repaired at the same point. One gorge stick has broken but the section is present, but the colours remain strong. A pretty and feminine fan despite faults. The final fan has a break to the upper guard with a small section missing. That guard is stuck to the first stick in. The silvered leaf is dull, as is the silvering on the guards.
