Discover a piece of Vietnamese history with this antique "qu?t tron" (round fan), handcrafted in the elegant style of Hue. This rigid fan, likely dating back to the late 19th or early 20th century, showcases beautifully painted scenes on both sides. One side depicts a lively scene, possibly portraying the traditional game of "c? ng??i", with figures engaged in a strategic match. The reverse side features a tranquil scene of two birds perched on blossoming branches, symbolizing harmony and nature's beauty. The intricate details and vibrant colors throughout are characteristic of the Hue school of painting, known for its delicate brushwork and courtly themes. The fan's leaf is crafted from a finely woven material, possibly bamboo, raffia, or grasscloth, and features a carved bone handle adorned with geometric patterns. A silk tassel with a pan chang knot (endless knot) adds a touch of elegance and symbolism. This fan likely belonged to someone of high social status, given its exquisite craftsmanship and artistic details. While showing some signs of age, this antique fan remains in remarkable condition, a testament to its quality and the care it has received over the years. It's a unique piece of Vietnamese artistry and history, perfect for collectors, enthusiasts of Asian art, or anyone who appreciates handcrafted beauty.Features: Antique Vietnamese "qu?t tron" (round fan) Hand-painted scene in the Hue school style Possibly depicts the traditional game of "c? ng??i" Woven leaf, possibly bamboo, raffia, or grasscloth Carved bone handle with geometric patterns Silk tassel with pan chang knot (endless knot) Late 19th or early 20th century Excellent condition with minor signs of age Condition: This antique fan is in excellent condition considering its age.
