Brisé fan

anonymous, c. 1815 - c. 1820

Although it was made in France, this fan clearly displays Asian influence. The motifs recall those found on shawls from Kashmir. The fan can be dated with some precision. Fans became increasingly more colourful from 1815, but they remained small in size, like this one, until around 1820.

    Brisé-waaier van hoorn met roosjesdecor. De spitsbogenvormige benen zijn ajour gesneden. Op de medaillons in de vorm van Kashmirpalmetten, telkens over de twee beben, staat een gesneden en geschilderd takje met rose roosje, vlindertje, vergeetmijniet en margriet. De keerzijde vertoont oranje in plaats van blauw. Twee blauwe stenen sieren op de spil.
