    Description

    This large decorative pleated fan is a genuine head-turner, featuring hand-marbled paper in a rich peacock feather pattern swirling with golds, corals, blues, greens, and pinks across approximately 25 inches of wingspan and 14 inches tall. The fan sits in a solid cast brass Art Deco-style half-sunburst display stand that holds it perfectly upright, making it a ready-to-hang or display statement piece straight out of the box. The marbling technique — classic Italian-style on thick paper stock — gives each pleat its own unique color story, and the overall condition is excellent with only the light patina you would expect from a well-loved vintage decorative piece. A true conversation starter for maximalist interiors, chinoiserie lovers, or fans of the 1970s-1980s decorative revival era.


    This sturdy little primitive walnut footstool punches well above its weight in charm, standing approximately 8 inches tall with a well-worn top surface that tells decades of honest stories. The underside bears a hand-stamped or carved inscription reading MIKE BORDERS P-4, giving this piece a delightful personal provenance that no reproduction could replicate. Construction is solid with a shaped apron, splayed legs, and mortise-style joinery consistent with American folk or country craftsmanship, likely mid-20th century or earlier. It measures roughly 16 inches long and serves equally well as a footrest, plant stand, or rustic display riser — and clearly already has a fan of its own.
