. For the first fan, note wear to the black gauze. One gorge stick has been repaired from the mid-point to the tip. Another three are in need of similar restoration. The silvering is now dull, whereas a lot of the gilded roundels are still bright. Fan 2 has a grey look to the monture but this might simply be that it needs extensive cleaning. One gorge stick is broken with a section missing. Some of the foil appliqués are missing from the leaf. The box lacks one end. The label is clean.
