The fan, in "cabriolet" form, created with an upper fabric leaf painted with two elegant ladies being conveyed across water in a gondola, adorned with cerise flowers. Below the central section, the sticks are shaped and decorated in blue, effectively causing a double horizontal band. This design is repeated at the tip of the upper guard. Likely 1920's. The verso is plain. Together with A 19th Century Wood Fan, the monture painted black, the double paper leaf silver to the recto and bronze to the verso (2)
