I'ts really hard to tell how bad the damage is by the pictures. If it's not too
bad than it can be reinforced. If the damage is too bad, than yes, the sticks
can be recovered as long as they're not cracked. If they are, you're better of
leaving it as a display.

Subject: [h-cost] Hand fan silk handpainted
Hi,
Today I've bought a nice folding fan on an antiek market.
I just fell in love with it and had to buy it.
But the silk is damaged.
Is this reperable?
I am thinking of taking the fabric of and put new silk on it.
I have just the right silk for it.
I am a very practical person and I like to use things instead of letting them
gather dust.
But in this state it is not usable.
I am wondering how others think of what I schould do.
And does anyone knows from which period this fan is?
Pictures from the fan are on the bottom of the page.
