Here's an antique Chinese hand fan featuring a detailed design of cranes and a pine tree, painted on silk. The artwork is framed by a vibrant, multi-colored woven trim, and the fan has a simple bamboo handle with its original cord. This fan comes from a large estate collection that included several other authentic antique collectible fans, which lends credence to the possibility of its age and authenticity. It also bears a red seal with the mark "????" (Qianlong nian zhì). This could mean it was made during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (1735-1796) in the Qing Dynasty. However, authenticating this mark by a qualified expert is still highly recommended. It's in fair to good condition for its age, showing some wear, including creasing and a small area of damage on the silk (see photos). The silk also has some discoloration and a natural patina. The bamboo handle has an aged look, and the cord shows some fraying.
