  • Vintage Hand Fan, Embroidered Peacock with Pink Crest, Black Celluloid with Gilding, Oriental Asian Style, Home Decor, Vintage Collectibles, (Discontinued)
  • Made in China
  • Vintage: 1990's
  • Details:   This is a very pretty hand fan, it has a brightly colored embroidered Peacock on very sheer black fabric, the look is Asian/Oriental. The sticks and ribs are celluloid/plastic with pretty cut-work and gold design. Fans have been around since Roman times but these hand held - folding fans were introduced in the West during the 17th Century, and quickly became popular.  These were not only great for keeping cool, they also kept bugs and unworthy suitors away.  They became a fashion accessory, much like a brooch or bracelet, these were decorative pieces of art to be worn and shown.  Today we love them as home decor; whether framed and hung on the wall, opened on a base/stand on a tabletop, used as a backdrop for figurines or other knick-knacks, or several displayed together on a wall; fans can create an atmosphere of Sophistication, Romance, Bohemian, Victorian, Asian, fun, quirky or tropical, just depends on the fans and how you use them. There are no markings but we believe this fan is a Chinese import.  There is a condition issue, please see Condition below.
