The museum of the fan (Paris)

 

In the industry of fans, one used much lace, but also the spangles, the pearls. About 1855, it was the fashion of the fans in feathers. This fashion will take importance a few years later with the domestication of the ostriches and other exotic birds acclimatized to Western Europe.

As usual, I will not show you the detail of this exposure, but only two other models: on the left a mask carried out by Anne Hoguet and a superb fan out of lace the needle-point (called "edge of sea").

Another fashion at the end of the 17th century: the "Brisé". The fan entirely was worked, pierced like true a lace on the ivory, mother-of-pearl the bone or the horn:
