Lot 4218
A Very Interesting Chinese Fan that would benefit from more research. The monture, of polished wood, is carved on both guards with various symbols and outdoor features. The gorge is plain. The double paper leaf bears a red stamp and characters above a basic rocky landscape, but to the right a clearly important person is meeting with two others, one wearing a sword. More characters in a larger format cover the verso. The paper is fairly sturdy. The vendor has noted the fan as Japanese, dating from c.1790. Guard length 13.25 inches or 33.5cmIt is thought that the fan reproduces a well-known Chinese text engraved on a slab, dating from the sixth century. It is difficult to translate literally today, but it is the epitaph of a high Imperial official and is thought to recount his genealogy. CONDITION REPORT: . some slight tears the bottom border, some light staining to the top left, recto, and darker stains seen on the verso
