Antique Chinese Hand Fan - Cranes & Pine, Qianlong Mark (Possible Qing Dynasty)

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 "乾隆年製" (Qiánlóng nián 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. * Round fan with silk leaf * Hand-painted cranes and pine tree design * Red Chinese seal (Qianlong reign mark - authentication recommended) * From a large estate collection of antique fans * Leaf diameter: 8 inches * Handle length: 4 inches * Total length: ~12 inches Condition Fair to good for its age.
