A deep cobalt blue enamel is further enhanced with hand applied raised gold enamel work in a decorative manner leaning to Chinoise

the wood front panels are backed with another board which remains unstained

Extra Large Antique Face Screen Fan Pair, Watercolor Art in the Italian and French Manner, Paintings Anizy hairlines on the paintingA surprisingly appealing pair, oversized for face screens, and truly works of art, these are painted in watercolor, not printed, and deserve to be hung on wall as artworks. Can you see them flanking a fabulous French framed mirror above your mantel. In one photo at end, you see them shown with a more typical sized pair of face screens that are embroidered note the comparative size. I've collected these for decades, have never seen such a large set.
