Description
The folding fan is one of the most refined objects in the East Asian decorative tradition, and this circa 1950s example, with its finely pierced sticks, hand-painted dual dragon motif, and original-style presentation box, is a complete and characterful collector's piece that rewards both display and close handling.
Made circa 1950s, this folding fan features finely pierced sticks with a hand-painted dual dragon motif across the leaf, the dragons rendered with the fluid brushwork and symbolic detail characteristic of mid-century East Asian export ware. The fan opens to 40 cm wide, giving the dragon decoration full visual impact when displayed open, and the original-style presentation box provides both protection and a complete display option when closed. Folding fans of this type were produced across China, Japan, and Korea for the export market throughout the mid-20th century, and examples with this level of hand-painted detail and a matching presentation box are increasingly sought after by collectors of Asian decorative arts.
