ANTIQUE JAPANESE HAND PAINTED
CLOTH & CARVED BAMBOO FOLDING FAN
SIGNED
You are being offered an Antique Japanese Folding Fan made with a Frame of Carved Bamboo Ribs with Cut-Out Designs and a Cloth Fabric Leaf decorated with Hand Painted Clusters of Red Roses and Gold Accented Scrolls, and the Bamboo Ribs are decorated with a Hand Painted Gold Accented Scroll Design, with Red Roses painted on the End Ribs and a Scene with Two People standing in an Open Field is painted on the Center Ribs. We believe the Fan was made during the Late 19th or Early 20th Century, circa 1890-1920, and it is signed on the Reverse Side of One Rib. The Ribs are 9 inches long and the Fan is 16½ inches wide when it is in the Fully-Open Position, and the Fan comes with a Custom Made Padded, Silk Fabric Storage Pouch. There is a little bit of Paint loss on the Edge of Three Bamboo Ribs and there is wear on the Edge of the folds in the Cloth Leaf and there is wear on the Fan's Reverse Side, with Gilt loss due to rubbing and the End of one Bamboo Rib is split; otherwise, the Fan is in Very Good Condition for its age and use, without any other issues. Please refer to the photographs on the left for further details. We hope you like it and remember, this Fan is being offered with Free Shipping within the Continental United States.

OUR SHIPPING & PAYMENT POLICIES
Our goal is to make your purchase a pleasant experience and to further that objective we will ship your purchase to you quickly and as safely as possible at a fair and reasonable cost to you. We ship all of our packages Fully Insured by U.S. Mail or Federal Express (FedEx) and we charge a Flat Rate for shipping because "Calculated Shipping" is not provided by eBay for FedEx. We use FedEx instead of one of the other private shipping services because we believe FedEx provides the safest and most reliable Ground Service available. We also feel that if handling charges are going to be applied, they should be applied on an individual basis instead of being added uniformly to all packages. Shipping charges are based solely on how much it costs us to ship your package to you, plus the cost of the packaging. All Domestic Packages are shipped By USPS Priority Mail, USPS Parcel Select or FedEx Ground and when applicable, USPS First Class Mail or USPS Media Mail. Our choice of Shipping Service and the Method of Shipping we select will be based on the Buyer's Preference and the Costs involved. Stated Terms and Shipping Charges Apply Only To Addresses Within The Continental United States. Shipments to addresses outside the Continental United States, including Alaska and Hawaii, will incur higher shipping charges that will vary according to the shipment's destination. International Shipments valued at 0.00 or more will be shipped by USPS Express Mail International because it is the only form of Mail that can be tracked after the Shipment passes through the destination country’s Customs. All other International Shipments valued less than 0.00 will be shipped by USPS Priority Mail International, except in certain instances when Inexpensive Items shipped in Small, Light-Weight Packages qualify for lower USPS First Class International shipping rates. In such cases, the Buyer will be notified by email and given the choice of how they want their package shipped. However, we will Not Ship packages by USPS First Class Mail International to certain countries because packages cannot be tracked after leaving the United States and too many packages have been lost. Winning Bidders will receive their Invoice within 24 Hours and payment is expected within four (4) days. We stand behind all of the items we sell on eBay and we offer a 100% Money Back Guarantee if an item is not as described.  However, the Buyer must contact us within 7 days of receipt and return the item within 30 days for a Refund to be applied and the item must be returned to us in its Original Condition at the Buyer's Expense.
ALL PACKAGES ARE SHIPPED FULLY INSURED, SO YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT LOST OR DAMAGED PURCHASES.
Every item we sell is wrapped and packaged in a professional manner using new cardboard boxes, bubble wrap and Styrofoam and our Shipping Labels are Computer Generated with links to eBay, PayPal, Federal Express (FedEx) and the United States Postal Service. If by some chance your purchase doesn't arrive, or if it arrives damaged, you will be given a full refund; or if there is only minor damage and you want to keep it, a mutually agreed upon amount will be refunded.  In effect, we will bend over backwards to satisfy you because we want you to know how much we appreciate your patronage.
We will gladly Combine Shipping for Multiple Purchases when possible and the Combined Shipping Charge will be based solely on the Shipping Service's Charges plus the Cost of the Packaging. However, there are Size and/or Weight limitations. If your purchases qualify for a Combined Shipping Discount, your Invoice will reflect the discount and it will be sent to you within 24 Hours after you make your selections.
International Buyers are welcome; however, the offer of FREE SHIPPING DOES NOT APPLY and the actual Shipping Charge will vary according to the Buyer's Location.
