Product Description
Opening :
An orchid blooms in silk, a butterfly alights as if in flight—this double-sided embroidered round fan captures a moment of quiet beauty. Crafted on translucent silk gauze (zhengsijiao), the design reveals itself from both sides. Whether held in hand or displayed as art, it brings a touch of classical elegance to any space.
Craftsmanship & Materials:
Double-Sided Embroidery
The fan features traditional double-sided embroidery—a masterful technique where the design appears identical on both front and back, with no visible knots or loose threads. An orchid, delicately rendered in soft white and greens, pairs with two butterflies whose wings seem to tremble with life. This level of detail requires exceptional skill; each piece takes weeks to complete.
Silk Gauze Base
Embroidered on fine silk gauze (zhengsijiao), the fabric’s translucent quality allows light to pass through, creating a gentle luminosity that mimics the delicacy of actual petals and wings.
Plum Blossom Frame & Green Trim
The fan is set in a plum blossom-shaped frame—a classic motif in Chinese art symbolizing resilience and grace. The edges are wrapped in a soft green silk binding that complements the orchid’s foliage.
Redwood Handle with Red Accent
The handle is carved from fine redwood, finished in black with a vibrant red tip—a traditional color pairing symbolizing celebration and good fortune. Its smooth, ergonomic shape offers a comfortable grip.
Jade & Silver Tassel
An olive-green long tassel cascades from the handle, accented with small jade beads and silver ornaments. The tassel adds movement and visual weight, while the jade—a stone prized for its protective and calming qualities—elevates the piece to a collector’s treasure.
