Here we have a gorgeous pair of vintage Oriental bamboo & silk paddle fans. I am unsure of their exact age/origin, they're not too old, I would imagine around the 80's. I have seen similar described as being Japanese and others Chinese so I do not know where these are from but one of the two. Either way they are beautiful things with lovely decorative hand painted images. Vibrant colours show a floral bouquet with butterflies too within a multicoloured border. Each fan measures approximately 12 inches by 7 inches. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.
Please see my other items where I have a good selection of decorative antiques.
Please Note;
I use new & recycled materials to ensure that your item arrives to you safely. I pack all of my items the best I can which you will see from my feedback. However, as with fragile items there is always a risk, items such as Antiques/Collectables, glass, ceramics, paintings etc are not insured for damage by any of the postal services, with the exception of The Royal Mail. This is why I offer a choice of postage options, so you can choose your preferred postage method. Collection in person is also available on all of my items. In the unfortunate, and unlikely event that something does get damaged or goes missing with the Royal Mail then I will do my very best to assist you in making a claim. I always obtain proof of postage for all of my sent items. Sadly I cannot be held responsible for the postal services poor handling of parcels. Here are a few links regarding Royal Mails compensation policies and how to make a claim if necessary.

International Buyers – Please Note:
Import duties; sometimes there will be a charge, I think this is mainly charged on high value items, this is something that the Government enforces to which I have no control of. I declare the value of the parcel as the price the item sold for plus shipping costs.
Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.
Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying.
