Description: | The main decoration of this mid-Victorian fan is the design carved into the wooden sticks and guards. This style is known as brise, from the French word for broken. The wood has been left untreated, but some colour is provided by the blue ribbon that connects the sticks.
Three wooden brisee fans, threaded with ribbon. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Wolverhampton Arts and Museums Service | Rights holder: | Wolverhampton Arts and Museums Service | Subjects: | Local history Miscellaneous Historical Objects Victorian period | Temporal: | 1850 - 1875
