Description: | Notes: Duplicate number. Description: Slightly elliptical, 'Fontange' fan with plain guards of painted wood and eleven sticks of painted wood which are uncarved, but decorated with silver figuring. The sticks are guards appear white, but were originally pink, the paint having faded. The leaves are formed of large, shocking pink, curled ostrich feathers, mounted both back and front, onto a base of white paper. One side of the fan has faded more than the other, and the feathers are practically white in this place. The leaves are arranged so that the centre point is higher than the outer points, these measuring 275mm and the centre 395mm. The sticks are held in place by a metal rod and hook, and the fan is in good condition. | License: | http://www.beamish.org.uk/terms-of-use | Subjects: | SHIC - Personal life - Costume - Accessories not elsewhere specified | Source: | Beamish | Identifier: | http://collections.beamish.org.uk/search... | Go to resource |
