Exceptional collector's fan from the 19th century, featuring finely carved bone sticks and hand-painted double-sided silk leaf. The front presents an 18th-century style courtly scene signed by the renowned Belle Époque fan artist, F. Ucher, characterized by great detail in the characters' attire and expressions. The reverse shows a more sober, elegant rural landscape in sepia tones, framed by golden borders.
The bone sticks stand out due to meticulous geometric and floral openwork with subtle touches of raised gold and copper polychromy. It is preserved in its original period box, covered with patterned paper of classic decorative motifs.
