<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 9610429, member: 2844&quot;]The difference in price isn&#039;t in Chinese v. European, it is in the quality and collectability.</p><p>For instance in this case the Chantilly fan is much more valuable and collectible, because it is a higher quality and not mass produced.</p><p>Some antique Chinese fans are a dime a dozen, simply because production was so high. Others, with an almost equally high production, are valuable because of the amazing carving.</p><p><br /></p><p>Surprisingly, or maybe not, antique Dutch fans are very valuable, much more so than Chinese fans. The rarity and high quality makes them very collectible. Dutch ivory etc carving was of the same quality as Dieppe carving, but production wasn&#039;t as high.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
