ABOUT PRODUCTID 6686
This openwork Biedermeier fan, crafted in 19th-century Austria, exemplifies meticulous workmanship and thoughtful construction. The structure consists of slender blades made from natural bone, intricately carved into a harmonious pattern of geometric and botanical motifs. The surface retains a consistent, matte ivory hue, while the upper edge features a band of stylised flowers with finely defined petals and centers. Just below the floral border, a delicate arc of red and gold thread visually separates the flowers from the more densely pierced, leafy lower section. At the base, gilded brass fittings with a small beaded chain provide both visual balance and practical closure. When opened, the fan measures 52 cm across and 30 cm high, emphasizing its lightness and balanced proportions. All original details, including the fine threading and brass hardware, are intact.
