Another one that I got cheap at a flea market. Dark wood, all parts complete and unbroken safe for the damaged silk ribbon which I replaced. As good as new with an effort of just one hour. Before adding the new ribbon I oiled the fan with scented oil that made the wood evenly dark and gave it a lovely scent. I usually use massage oil for this. You can also use common leather wax but the smell is less pleasant. Linseed oil also works nicely, in fact anything that is good for plain wood and doesn't have too much of a smell to it.
