Pleated Fan And Case (possibly France)
This is a Pleated fan and case. It was distributed by Tiffany and Co.. It is dated 1910–1920 and we acquired it in 1952. Its medium is silk leaf embroidered with steel sequins, mother-of-pearl sticks with steel piqués, mother-of-pearl washer. It is a part of the Textiles department.
This glittering fan is a beautiful example of the fashion for spangled fans in the first two decades of the 20th century. The entire surfaces of the silk leaf and the mother-of-pearl sticks are covered with carefully aligned steel spangles, creating a graphic and modern textural effect.
