Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Edwardian hand fans produced around 1900 to 1910 frequently featured revivals of 18th-century decorative themes, such as fete galante garden scenes and classical figures. They were designed as formal evening accessories, combining delicate hand-painted leaves with ornate sticks made from luxurious materials like mother of pearl, tortoiseshell, or polished bone.

Antique folding fans typically consist of structural sticks and guard guards made from carved mother of pearl, ivory, bone, or wood. The flexible leaf was crafted from silk, vellum, fine paper, or lace, which was then decorated using gouache paints, gold leaf gilding, or embroidery.

Authentic period fans feature hand-applied paintwork where brushstrokes are visible under magnification, rather than modern printed dots. Inspect the rivet at the base pivot for age-appropriate patina and check for genuine mother of pearl, which displays natural iridescence and subtle structural grain rather than uniform plastic reproduction.

Interior designers frequently display antique fans inside custom acrylic or gilded shadow box frames to protect the delicate materials while creating wall art. Alternatively, mounted on an acrylic stand, a fan can be placed inside a glass vitrine or set on a console table or sideboard top to serve as a focal accent.

Keep antique fans away from direct sunlight, central heating vents, and high humidity, which cause paper to dry out and split. Display the fan fully open in a sealed frame with UV-protective glass, and use a soft, dry camel-hair brush to remove surface dust from mother of pearl sticks.
