On offer is an antique celluloid fan designed to imitate tortoise shell, displaying rich amber tones and decorative pierced detailing. These early 20th-century celluloid pieces were prized for their lightness and attractive mottled colouring, offering an affordable alternative to natural tortoiseshell. This example has small applied caps over the central pin—one of which is missing—otherwise it remains in good condition with age-related wear. Each blade measures approximately 5.25 inches, and when open the fan spans around 9.5 inches.
