My beautiful spangled antique fan came. It's beautiful! It's bigger than I pictured. The guards are 14" long! Photographing this has proved difficult, but I'll share my attempts.






(Catnip had to stick his tail in that one! He knows a rockin' accessory when he sees one!)

Oh Kat, it's so beautiful! :D I don't think I've ever seen a fan with sticks with such a lovely floral design. What a wonderful prize!

Thats a lovely fan. I collect fans - though I don't have many. My favourites are brise fans.

What are the ribs and sticks made from? Are they wood which has been painted silver? Its gorgeous workmanship.

Yup, gilded wood! The back guard is split, but not badly. I need to glue it back. I think after that I will place it in a shadow box and hang it on the wall to enjoy!

Freakishly amazing. You officially have tied for my favourite fan (the other is my art nouveau one that I saved from a mis-labelled fate, and added antique feathers of the same era to). Of course something yours has over mine is yours folds shut, so I fully expect it will be a travelling fan for various out of town events as well :)

I can't *wait* to see it in person!!!

That is AMAZING! Oh my gosh! The flowers on the side and the swooping line of it is gorgeous!

Just gorgeous! It inspires me to create a corset with similar ornamentation!

That is a gorgeous fan!!

The sticks sort of remind me of one I bought. The silk on it is shattered which is too bad because it had hand painted flowers which was pretty, but I bought it for the sticks. I had never thought of doing spangles on it.. but maybe when I remake it (yeah yeah... I know I am a slacker) I'll do it with spangles instead of a floral.

Thank you for sharing that!
