Fan Shaped Clock Appraisal

Vintage Silver-Tone Fan-Shaped Quartz Wall Clock

This is a decorative wall clock designed in the shape of a traditional folding hand fan (sensu). The piece is constructed from what appears to be molded plastic or a lightweight composite material with a metallic silver-tone finish. The fan's surface features a textured, ribbed pattern to simulate the folds of a paper fan, and is further accented by raised, sculptural reliefs of flowering plum or cherry blossom branches (Prunus). These floral elements are finished in a polished silver tone that contrasts with the matte texture of the fan body. Centrally integrated is a circular clock faces with a light gold or champagne-colored dial. The dial features clear, black Arabic numerals from 1 to 12 and is protected by a clear cover, likely plastic. The clock hands are ornate and black in color. Below the 12 o'clock position, the word 'QUARTZ' is visible, indicating a modern battery-powered movement. The overall style is reminiscent of late 20th-century Asian-inspired home decor, likely dating between the 1980s and 1990s. The condition appears fair, with some visible dust accumulation and minor surface wear, particularly around the edges of the frame and the relief carvings. There are no obvious signs of major breakage or repair, though some slight oxidation or dulling of the metallic finish is present on the lower ribbing of the fan.
