antique fan

[madamemodiste]

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!)

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!
