Description
Add a refined touch of classic Eastern aesthetics to your home with this vintage Chinese carved wooden folding hand fan, crafted during the late 20th-century export studio period (circa 1970s–1990s). Featuring an intricate full-surface honeycomb lattice piercing and a beautifully pyrographed plum blossom and classical vase motif, this piece is a standout example of traditional Asian decorative craftsmanship. It makes a perfect accent for bookshelves, entryway consoles, or as a thoughtful gift for collectors of Oriental home decor and ethnographic artifacts.
The fan arrives in its original emerald green fabric-covered storage case, which features a bright red satin interior, ivory-tone clasps, and a studio calligraphy label reading “Nan Xiang Fan Cai” (South Fragrance Fan Art). A vibrant hot-pink silk tassel is securely attached to the pivot rivet, completing the authentic vintage presentation. The folding mechanism operates smoothly, with all wooden ribs intact and free of major chips or structural wear.
Condition is very good for its age, showing only typical light surface patina and minor box corner scuffing consistent with decades of careful storage. This listing includes the fan, original rigid case, and silk tassel exactly as photographed.
