Hand fan (2) - Framed - Wood, Textile - Modernists

Elegant decorative ensemble formed by two fans from the first half of the 20th century, preserved in display cases made of gilded wood and crystal, with a burgundy velvet background that enhances the delicacy and refinement of the pieces. This type of mounting, conceived both for protection and for exhibition, transforms the fans into authentic objects of wall decoration and collection. The first specimen features original ivory-toned silk with a scene in a neoclassical gallant style that evokes the romantic and eighteenth-century tastes recovered during the early decades of the 20th century. The composition shows figures dressed in classical style next to architectural and vegetal elements, executed in soft tones that harmoniously integrate with the light background. The ribs, made of bakelite or composite material of the era, appear finely cut with geometric and ornamental motifs that add lightness and elegance to the set. The second fan stands out for its floral decoration, featuring an exuberant bouquet of roses and small wildflowers arranged on a delicate translucent background. The composition reflects the decorative taste of the early 20th century for naturalistic motifs, captured with a painterly sensibility that highlights the rich color of the petals and foliage. The ribs, likewise made of ivory-colored bakelite, showcase an elaborate cutting job that demonstrates the ornamental versatility of this innovative material, highly valued for its resilience and ability to reproduce refined designs. The semicircular-profile display cases, made of gilded wood with classically inspired carved moldings, frame both pieces with great elegance. The contrast between the warm shine of the gold, the depth of the velvet, and the delicacy of the fans creates a presentation highly attractive, typical of refined interiors and specialized collections. A set of marked decorative and evocative character, representative of the daily elegance of the first half of the 20th century, where the artisanal tradition of the fan combines with the new aesthetic and industrial possibilities of materials such as bakelite. Ideal both for collectors of decorative arts and for those seeking unique pieces capable of bringing sophistication, history, and charm to any environment. Courier shipping and proper packaging.
