This striking vintage hand fan is a wonderful example of traditional Indian textile craftsmanship.

The large circular fan is covered in rich pink fabric and surrounded by a beautifully gathered multicoloured textile border in shades of red, cream, blue, black and yellow. At the centre, intricate real silver zari work forms the main decorative motif, giving the piece a distinctive royal and ceremonial appearance.

The fan is finished with a long decorated handle featuring coloured detailing and metal fittings, adding further character to its handmade construction.

Such hand fans were not only practical objects but also decorative and ceremonial accessories, often valued for their fine textile work and elaborate embellishment. Today, this piece makes a remarkable addition to a collection of traditional Indian textiles, silver zari work, folk art, royal décor or heritage objects.

Its aged fabrics, hand workmanship and genuine silver zari detailing make every imperfection part of its history and individual charm.
