Handheld Silk Folding Fan with Bamboo Ribs and Lotus, Dragonfly and Geese Art
Couldn't load pickup availability

The Handheld Silk Folding Fan with Lotus, Dragonfly and Geese Art is an ivory-toned silk-cloth fan mounted on natural bamboo ribs whose inner halves carry an openwork carved lattice, finished with a golden tassel and bead at the handle. Across the leaf the painted scenes show birds in flight, a plum branch rising from rocks, and soft misty mountains — part of the lotus-and-geese artwork family this fan belongs to. At 22.5cm folded and 38cm open, it works as a real hand fan for warm days, a companion to hanfu or linen outfits, and a quiet display piece beside a tea tray.
Cultural Symbolism & Artistic Design
Wild geese: In Chinese folk tradition the wild goose is traditionally regarded as an emblem of fidelity and of messages carried across distance, drawn from the old image of geese bearing letters between travelers and home. On this fan a pair of long-necked birds sweeps low across the open leaf, giving the composition its sense of movement.
Lotus and dragonfly: The Chinese name for lotus sounds like the word for harmony, and the flower has traditionally been regarded as a symbol of purity for rising clean from muddy water; paired with a dragonfly it forms a classic summer subject of Chinese flower-and-bird painting. That lotus-and-dragonfly theme is the artwork the listing is named for, carried in the same restrained ink-and-color style as the scenes shown.
Plum and rocks: The plum blossom is traditionally regarded in Chinese custom as a sign of perseverance, flowering as winter loosens its grip, and pairing it with a scholar's rock is a long-standing composition in ink painting. Here the blossoming limb leans over blue-gray stones on the middle fan of the set.

Why You'll Love This Fan
The carved lattice through the inner ribs is true fan-making craftsmanship you can see and feel, and it keeps the hand light on the fan. The warm ivory leaf and natural bamboo tone give it a calm, antique palette that photographs well with costumes and tea settings alike, and the golden tassel adds a clean finishing line when the fan hangs closed.
Care Instructions
- Keep the silk leaf dry; never wash or wet-wipe the painted surface.
- Fold along the original pleats and close gently so the carved ribs stay aligned.
- Dust the bamboo with a soft dry cloth; keep oils and sprays away from the leaf.
- Store flat or on a stand in a dry, shaded place.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size is this fan, and is it suitable as a carry-along fan?
The listing gives 22.5cm folded length and a 38cm unfolding size. That is a medium-to-large hand fan: it folds slim enough for a bag yet opens wide enough to move real air, so it works for both everyday carry and styled shoots.
Are the ribs solid bamboo, and what is the pattern on them?
Yes, the material list states bamboo. The ribs are carved with an openwork lattice on their inner halves — a traditional decorative fan-making cut that also reduces weight; you can see it clearly in the product photos.
Do I get to choose the tassel color?
No. The listing notes that the tassel color is sent randomly. The painting family itself covers the bird, plum, and mountain scenes shown, so plan on the tassel being a small surprise rather than a matching decision.
How should I display it when I am not using it?
Opened, the leaf shows the full painted scene, so it sits well on a fan stand or leaned against a shelf wall; closed, it stores flat in a drawer. Keep it out of direct sun so the ivory leaf and print stay even in tone.
