An antique French feather fan from the early 1900s. This éventail is made of real feathers. Also included as a bonus is a cute French antique postcard featuring a girl with a feather fan. They would look lovely displayed together. Feather fans were used in aristocratic social gatherings, and the fan itself was also used as a tool for social conversation and gestures. As a decorative item for ladies, beautiful designs and materials were used, and it also served to indicate the owner's status and sense of style. The feathers of the fan are soft and beautiful, and the bone part, probably made of wood, has an elegant beauty. It opens and closes beautifully and smoothly, and looks great when displayed or propped up. A wonderful item as a lady's possession. As it is an antique, there are minor scratches, stains, scuffs, slight discoloration of the feathers, and some fraying at the tips of the feathers, but no major damage is visible. #fleamarket #antique market #brocante #sculpture #mercerie #French goods #French shabby chic #old tools #vintage #brocante #antique fan #French antique fan #French fan #Masaki
