FAQs

Folding fans became popular in Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries, often imported from East Asia or produced locally in cultural centres like Paris and London, serving as both functional accessories and status symbols.

Traditional folding fans were constructed using delicate materials such as carved wood, ivory, bone, or mother-of-pearl for the sticks, combined with hand-painted paper, silk, or vellum for the leaf.

Authenticity is identified through hand-painted details rather than modern printing, the natural ageing of the paper or silk, traditional riveting techniques, and period-specific clothing styles depicted in the artwork.

An antique folding fan can be professionally mounted and framed behind UV-protective glass to serve as a sophisticated wall art piece in a study, drawing room, or hallway.

To preserve antique fans, keep them away from direct sunlight and high humidity, handle them sparingly to protect fragile paper or textiles, and display them in acid-free environments.
