Philippine Fan
El Sotanillo (Alicante) Paper, bone and cloth h: 35 cm; w: 19,5 cm 19th century
Fan with ultra-semicircular carved and fretworked ivory rods. Header rods with fine carvings of everyday scenes. Paper country with a chinoiserie scene painted in ganache with fabric appliqué. For the costumes of the characters and painted and glued ivory strips for the faces. The reverse with a chinoiserie scene in the same technique. Metal nail and hanger.
At the end of the 19th century, following the fashion imposed by Queen Isabella II in Spain, these fans made in the Philippines became common and were exported in the wake of the Chinese decorations and motifs that were so popular in 19th-century Europe. They are large folding fans with carved and fretworked ivory rods and with the country decorated in a variegated manner with successive scenes featuring a multitude of Chinese figures in terraces, pavilions, staircases and gouache-painted borders, but with the particularity of the application of thin sheets of painted ivory for the face and fragments of fabric for the clothing.
