Vintage Embossed Brass Phoenix Fan Wall Hanging

This is a decorative brass wall plaque cast in the shape of a traditional folding fan. The piece features an intricate, high-relief embossed design depicting a Fenghuang, or Chinese Phoenix, with its wings spread across the upper arc. To the left of the bird are floral motifs resembling peonies or chrysanthemums. The lower section of the piece is cast with openwork slits that mimic the ribs or guards of a hand fan, meeting at a base shaped like a closed fan tail. The item is manufactured from a medium-gauge yellow brass, displaying a naturally aged patina with noticeable oxidation and small spots of verdigris (green corrosion) in the recessed areas. The craftsmanship indicates a mid-20th-century decorative production, likely from East Asia (possibly Hong Kong or Taiwan) intended for the export market. The condition is fair to good, with some surface scratches, minor indentations on the edges, and dust accumulation in the detailed textures. It lacks a visible maker's mark on the front, though one might be present on the reverse side. The style is characteristic of Hollywood Regency or Mid-Century Orientalist interior design popular between 1950 and 1970.
