This antique folding fan is a collector's specimen from the turn of the 20th century, featuring a double-sided printed and hand-tinted paper leaf mounted on beautifully detailed sticks. The piece stands out due to the high craftsmanship of its pierced frame, which features gold leaf highlights and integrated mother-of-pearl inlays.

Historically, fans of this type were fashionable accessories in Europe during the late Victorian and Belle Époque eras. They served both functional purposes at social gatherings and as indicators of taste, featuring romanticized landscapes, architectural views, and social scenes typical of the period's lithographic art.
