Hanging a large chinese fan on wall

mr_vampy

Hi,
I was recently given a large chinese fan depicting a tiger. When opened it measures 62inches by 35inches. I would like to display this on the living room wall, but am unsure how to put it up. Have read a few articles where they suggest using double sided tape. Am unsure if this would work due to the weight of the fan. Does anyone have any other ideas on how to put this up? Have attached a picture of a similar fan
Thanks in advance

A couple of picture hooks horizontally arranged, so the bottom part rests on the hooks, with the fan 'leaning' backwards a couple of degrees so the top part rests against the wall?

The fan has wooden strits on the back? Mine does. Tie a thin cord across from 10 O'Clock to 2 O'Clock. Two picture hooks in the wall, and the fan hangs from the string, invisibly. If you do the cord from nine to one O'Clock, it hangs at a pleasing angle. I used a length of nylon kite string, as it was super-strong but thin.

If the wooden struts are fully contained within the paper, use a long loop of thread from the exposed lower struts; you may need a single sewing pin at the apex to keep the cord tight to the fan; depends on how it balances... the pin goes into a wooden strut, through the cord.

I'd not use tape; it will damage the fan.
