(which is very heavy for this type of fan). The fan is so impressive and in such wonderful condition. All pieces look to be original.

This looks lovely open and yet still very decorative when sitting closed. This amazing antique piece has an ornate unique design and is two sided with a highly decorated Victorian Styling. There is a raised solid brass cameo motif as the centerpiece on the top to an urn and leave design on the very large foot. It also is adorned with a solid Finial / handle on the top for carrying it. **There is one missing side hook but the fan blades on this are tight and they will stay in place.

The intricate detail of the filigree cut-outs on the screen create an amazing reflection and is very light catching. The details go all the way to the ends of the feathers with the open ended cuts. This fan will work with many decors from Victorian, Hollywood Glam to Traditionally styled homes.

The total height for the fan with the handle is 28 inches tall and the fan when open has a width of 44 inches and the base is 8 inches deep. The base alone measures 11 inches wide with a depth of 8 inches. The height of the blades alone is 24 inches.

Please use great care when opening and closing this and don't let the blades just fall out of the sides.

This one has been meticulously cleaned to bring it back to its original state. It is polished and will gain a patina over time. There are no makers marks. This piece would date from the late 1800's to early 1900's per its styling and quality of the solid brass and way it was made.

*** The beauty and stately design of this piece can't compare to the mass produced ones that are commonly for sale, the brass is much cheaper on those and also much lighter in weight and not nearly as ornate ***

This item is sure to please and will be loved for many years to come. It needs a special home to be displayed in.

Majority of my items for sale are pre-loved treasures that were most likely purchased at a local Estate Sale or a local resale shop in Arizona. I may or may not know details but do spend time researching information to provide details the best I can and to pass along fair prices.
