A 19th Century Fine and Large Chinese Cabriolet Fan, Qing Dynasty, double paper sticks on a black lacquered wood monture which is painted in gold, some areas with flowers and others with figures.

A smaller but similar scene is shown on the lower section of the leaf. On the verso the upper leaf has more specific scenes, one of warriors, one of ladies, two with both sexes and two with horses. The lower leaf depicts a colourful bird and flowers. Guard length 29cm

Generally very good with no obvious repairs to either leaf or monture.
