Antique Hand Painted French 22 cm Hand Fan, Sequins, Silk Tassel, Bone Monture and Original Box St. Louis glass 925 standard for sterling silverSuch a beautiful old thing, Excellent preservation for age, owing to it having the large bottom portion of the original hand painted box, no loss or damage to the bone monture which is accented in raised gold enamel.
