Decorative Fabric Hand Fan on Stand

This item is a decorative, pleated fabric hand fan, displayed open on a metallic stand. The fan itself appears to be constructed from a paper or light fabric sheet, meticulously folded into a fan shape, and then affixed to a series of radiating sticks that terminate at a pivot point, though these sticks are not clearly visible here. The primary color of the fan's body is a subdued cream or light yellow, adorned with intricate, multi-colored illustrations. These illustrations feature what appear to be classical figures or cherubs in various poses, suggesting a Rococo or Neoclassical artistic influence. The upper and lower edges of the fan's main body are bordered with a darker, possibly dark green or blue-gray band, upon which vibrant rose motifs with green foliage are painted. The overall condition appears good, with no obvious tears, significant discoloration, or major damage visible from the angle provided. The pleats are well-defined, indicating good structural integrity. The stand holding the fan is small, made of a metallic material, likely brass or a brass-toned alloy, and has a flared, fan-like base that echoes the shape of the item it supports. Its surface shows a slight sheen, suggesting polished metal. This type of fan is commonly used for display rather than function, given its open, permanent presentation.
