Robert Belcher Antiques was established in 1984 and is a high-quality retailer of interesting, rare antiques and decorative objects. After forty years of shop keeping and maintaining beautiful showrooms, which have been regularly open six days a week, Robert and Wendy have now taken a slightly different approach to their business. Having sold their retail premises, the antique business is now fully online. The picture framing service has ceased to operate because of moving online.
You can contact Robert and Wendy by email or telephone to discuss items from their extensive catalogue of attractive pieces and make purchases. Customers can rest assured that the long-established dealership is continuing to run in an exceedingly professional way, selling genuine and high-quality items which are guaranteed to please the most discerning collector, decorator or homeowner.
All items will be personally hand packaged to a high standard. Small items are extensively wrapped using the best materials and are often double boxed. Items are then shipped with DHL or Royal Mail fully insured and often with next day delivery. Larger items would be personally delivered or sent with a specialist antique delivery firm, or for outside the U.K, a professional shipping company.
Please enjoy viewing their collection of rare and interesting pieces and have the assurance that Robert and Wendy will do their utmost to make sure your experience is exceptional, as has been recognised by many customers who have bought with confidence regularly over the years.

This exceptional quality late 18th century fan is Italian in its origin, and the folding framework is made from mother of pearl, which has been delicately carved and pierced to an intricate design showing young male and female figures set amongst garden trellis with cherubs or Puti looking down from above, all hand carved into the solid mother of pearl.
The individual sections of mother of pearl are hinged to fold out from a brass patterned and shaped ring, which is adorned with silk tassels mounted with Italian green glass beads with gold inclusions.
The main attraction of this fan is the work of art on paper which when folded out for use displays a wonderful hand painted brightly coloured continuous scene amongst a wooded landscape with open areas with different groups of people including a young courting couple, a mother and child with a pet bird, a central family group with their pet dog and behind in the distant landscape there are two larger groups one dancing and celebrating and the other enjoying a al fresco meal.
This lovely exotic fashion accessory has been beautifully mounted in a handmade glazed ebonised frame with a yellow padded silk lining, which protects and displays the fan superbly.
At the rear, there is a brass wire for hanging.
The fan is in very good condition with some minor small losses and age related wear.
