This elaborately crafted silver fan handle exemplifies the refined silversmithing traditions of early 20th-century Gujarat. Its cylindrical stem, adorned with chased floral vines and stylized motifs, extends into three ornate horizontal branches—each terminating in beaded and bud-like finials. The harmonious arrangement of repoussé work and tiered design suggests both functional elegance and symbolic ornamentation. Likely commissioned for ceremonial or elite domestic use, this piece represents the convergence of regional craftsmanship and social prestige during a time of cultural transition in colonial India.
