Description

We are delighted to offer this beautiful vintage Japanese solid silver fan/Sensu/O-gi made circa 1960s.

The fan can be displayed on a wooden stand (included) and presents itself with a pronounced contrast of the silver background and the mixed metal highlights of floral blossoms, birds and foliate motifs.

The mixed metal decoration is typical of classic Japanese design and consists of gold and Shakudo copper.

The fan is crafted in its open position and is fixed (cannot be collapsed) with its angles and sections being exceptionally well made in a fine gauge of silver that realistically replicates the delicacy of paper fans.

Silver Japanese pot is for display purposes only and may be purchased separately.

The fan is marked on the stem with a "Jun-Gin" signature - the highest grade of silver with 1000/1000 parts (100% solid silver).

A wonderful object with highly decorative and classic Japanese designs, ideal for interiors and collectors wishing to add Oriental influences.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

FAQs

Folding fans, known as sensu or ogi, originated in Japan and have been used for centuries in social ceremonies, performing arts, and as status symbols among the nobility.

These decorative objects are typically crafted from solid silver or mixed metals, featuring intricate repousse, engraving, or applied enamel detailing.

Authentic pieces often feature Japanese character hallmarks or stamps indicating silver purity, alongside traditional hand-engraved artisan motifs.

Placed on a mantelpiece or within a glass cabinet, a decorative fan adds a focal point of intricate craftsmanship and cultural heritage to a room.

Silver artifacts should be cleaned gently with a specialized non-abrasive microfiber cloth to remove tarnish without damaging fine engraved details.
