We
are both the oldest surviving members of our families. As life-long
collectors, and inheritors from those who have Gone Before, we must move
on some of our Stuff before that (hopefully far-off) day when it
becomes our children’s responsibility. Happy to combine for cheaper
postage but PLEASE WAIT for combined invoice from me or ask me for one;
postage discounts can only be given on combined purchases paid for on a single invoice.
ART DECO MECHANICAL HAND FAN LA BRISE FAUX TORTOISESHELL MIRROR DECORATED BLADES #4
Made in England with the Patent number 21777-13. A very unusual example fitted with a small vanity mirror. Also all the blades and the body are decorated with engraved gilded decoration. The blades have flying birds, the body with a Chinese-looking scene of tea house, trees and sun rays. The mechanism works very well; the mirror has some age spotting, and the push in mechanism has pitting to the chrome work, more obvious on the inside. Total width with the blades fully expended is 13.5 cms. The faux tortoiseshell celluloid blades and body are very good vintage condition, no chips or cracks. In full working order, so much better than the usual examples offered.
My Items
The items I sell are vintage; they are second hand, old, sometimes very
old. I try to describe and photograph my items
honestly and to the best of my ability; however if pristine condition is
very important to you, I feel you should be buying from a regular shop,
where you can inspect the items personally. Please note that all my
items are sold "as is", with no warranty implied, and that the photos
form part of the description, which should be read carefully. IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM PLEASE CONTACT ME FIRST.
