A wonderfully theatrical vintage Spanish folding fan filled with colorful scenes of traditional Spain. Bullfighters, flamenco figures, flower-filled courtyards and oversized roses unfold across both sides, creating a particularly decorative piece for display.
The fan features painted blue wooden sticks with pierced detailing and gold accents, paired with a richly printed folding leaf. One side depicts romantic garden and courtyard scenes surrounded by flowers, while the reverse is devoted largely to the spectacle of the bullring, with matadors, bulls and traditionally dressed Spanish women.
At 10 inches long when closed, it has an impressive presence when opened and would make a distinctive addition to a collection of vintage fans, Spanish decor or European travel memorabilia. Its age-related wear gives it genuine vintage character, with visible rubbing, creasing and small areas of loss along the printed leaf.
Details:
Era: Circa 1950s–1960s
Material: Painted wood, printed paper/fabric leaf, metal pivot
Condition: Good vintage condition with age-related rubbing, creasing, edge wear and small areas of surface loss; wooden sticks and pivot show expected wear
Dimensions: 10 in L when closed
