Professionally framed, 25 x 29 3/4 inches The top fan is Spanish origin, the bottom fan is French. Amazing hand painted antique fans, you will be stunned at the details. The Spanish fan is likely from the 18th or 19th century, featuring carved and pierced sticks, possibly made of mother of pearl and a delicate leaf which could be vellum or silk satin. Embellished with gilded accents or sequins. It was a highly fashionable accessory among the upper classes.

Lovely vintage music box with exceptional tones, powder puff, nice vintage condition. Unbranded vintage Silvertone Powder Puff – Trinket Box- Music Box (wind up) A machine drills tiny holes in the cylinder. Next pinning takes place (see photo) Needle thin steel wire is inserted into each hole. It is then cut to form a pin. The next process is known as hardening. The comb is heated to nearly 800°C - it is plunged into a bath of warm oil. The comb’s extreme hardness is then refined and managed by tempering. It has to be durable and not brittle - rigid and not too flexible. All these stages ensure the incomparable sound quality. Lead is then poured under the comb teeth for the bass notes. This technique makes sure that the notes are clear. The lead is sawn by hand to create the teeth. Then the music box is tuned. Each tooth has to be filed to make the correct note. Musical movements are assembled by hand. The cylinder, spring-housing, speed governor, trigger and tune indicator are assembled together on the base-plate. Then fixing the comb is the final and most difficult operation. It requires a craftsman who can create the perfect sound using his experience and musical talent. 60 / 364 -
