Antique French Deposé Fan Blue Flower Petal Pleated

From my personal collection

All original French hand fan

Wood spokes in a painted pale blue with silver decoration

Silk textured petals

Most petals are attached to one another, as they are suppose to be. However, as you can see several have come loose and need some stitch repair to fan them open properly

Closed the length of fan is 14.5” at the highest point
