Made mostly of lacquered wood, with a frill of paper at the top. Structurally sound and strong, no missing or broken bits. Colors are vibrant, especially the Chinese red. There is a small patch of glue residue from a tag, which may or may not be visible in my close-up photo. Also a couple of black marks, which I can see clearly on the outer rim. Neither is particularly visible when fan is open. Twentieth century. Completely usable.
